# Alerts

> Monitor important production conditions and notify the right destination

An **alert** evaluates a saved condition on a schedule and sends a notification
when the condition is met.

## Create an alert

Open **Alerts** in the Agnost AI sidebar, then choose a template or create a custom
condition. Configure:

* A descriptive alert name.
* The condition and threshold.
* How often Agnost AI should check it.
* Email recipients or a connected Slack channel.
* The action or investigation context recipients need.

## Alert design

Prefer conditions that are actionable and stable enough to avoid noise. Include
the workspace, time window, affected intent/tool/rule, supporting count, and a
direct path back to Agnost AI.

Test the alert before enabling it. Revisit thresholds after traffic or agent
behavior changes.

## Next steps

* [Intents](/using-intents): choose a user goal worth monitoring.
* [Violations](/using-violations): choose an expected rule worth monitoring.
* [Improvements](/using-improvements): investigate and address recurring conditions.
