What is a Budget Alert?
A budget alert notifies you when agent spend crosses a configured threshold — the monitoring layer on top of enforced ceilings.
How it works
Thresholds per agent, category, or fleet.
Alerts fire on approach and breach.
Alert vs ceiling
An alert tells you; a ceiling stops it.
Run both: alerts for awareness, ceilings for enforcement.
FAQ
What thresholds should I set?
80% of the ceiling (approach) and 100% (breach).
Do alerts replace ceilings?
No — alerts inform, ceilings enforce. Both.
