Alerts inbox and rules

Spike alerts that say why, plus your own rules such as bounce rate above 70% or AI visitors down 30% week on week.

What it does

An Alerts inbox per account. Spikes come with the top source and the page most people landed on. Rules watch visitors, pageviews, bounce rate or AI visitors.

Why it matters

You shouldn’t have to open the dashboard every day to notice something changed.

How to use it

  1. Open Alerts in the top menu.
  2. Under Settings per site, set the minimum visitors and switch spike and drop alerts on or off.
  3. Add a rule: a metric, then above, below or down by %, over yesterday or the last 7 days.
  4. Press Check now to run the check straight away.

How it works

From a traffic change to an alert1. Once a day (or when you press Check now), quietstats reads each site’s daily visitor totals. Nothing extra is tracked. 2. Spike: visitors at least 2.5 × the median of the 28 days before, and at least the site’s minimum (20 by default). 3. Drop: visitors 40% or less of that median, when the median is at least the minimum. New and very quiet sites are left out. 4. Your own rules: visitors, pageviews, bounce rate or AI visitors; above, below or down by %; yesterday or the last 7 days. 5. Each alert fires at most once per site, kind, rule and day. (otherwise: Already sent today: skipped) 6. It lands in your Alerts inbox with the top source and landing page. 7. Slack, Discord or Teams: Send test works now. Scheduled chat alerts go out once that sending is switched on; the Alerts page says when.1Once a day (or when you pressCheck now), quietstats readseach site’s daily visitortotals.
