Triggered alerts for campaign milestones or issues

Purpose

1.1. Enable instant notifications to stakeholders when pivotal campaign milestones are met or issues detected.
1.2. Minimize manual oversight, reduce delays in response, and sustain high campaign performance.
1.3. Synchronize communication across account, creative, and technical teams when KPIs, deadlines, or errors require immediate attention.
1.4. Granular alerting — route messages to specific individuals or groups based on milestone, channel, or urgency.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Achievement or missed delivery of key performance benchmarks (CTR, impression, conversion, spend cap).
2.2. Scheduled milestone dates (campaign launch, phase completion, content go-live).
2.3. Budget, pacing, or attribution anomalies; platform warnings/errors; third-party API failure.
2.4. Manual flagging by team (urgent issue, creative approval, legal hold).
