Notifications
Beyond alert rules, AdProtektor can send scheduled email summaries, browser push notifications for new visitors and click attacks, excessive-click emails, and campaign fraud-spike alerts. Most are opt-in; campaign fraud-spike alerts are on by default and can be switched off from your account settings.
What is available
- Email summaries
- A scheduled digest of your protection — off, weekly or monthly.
- Browser push
- Desktop notifications for new visitors (all, or ad traffic only), completed reports and click attacks.
- Excessive-click emails
- Sent when a visitor trips your click-frequency or Paranoia rules. Configured alongside those rules per website.
- Campaign fraud-spike alerts
- Emailed when fraud on a campaign spikes, so a sudden attack on one campaign does not hide inside your account-wide averages. On by default once the feature is enabled for your account — switch it off in Account → Settings if you do not want it.
Setting them up
Account-level notifications live in Account → Settings. Browser push additionally needs permission from your browser the first time you enable it, and you can send yourself a test to confirm it works.
Pick one channel for urgent things
Enabling everything everywhere trains you to ignore it. Push for what needs a response now, a weekly email for the overview, and alert rules for the specific thresholds you care about.
Threshold-based alerts
For notifications tied to a metric crossing a value you choose, use alert rules instead — they also support webhooks. See Alerts.
Frequently asked questions
Why am I not receiving push notifications?
Browser permission is the usual cause — check the site is allowed to notify you, and that your operating system is not suppressing notifications. Send a test push to confirm.
Can team members get their own notifications?
Notification preferences are per user, so each team member configures their own.
