Creating and Managing Magic Link Alerts

Introduction

Novu.Link allows you to create alerts for events that happen on your magic links.

In this example, if more than 10 successful scans happen in the last 60 minutes, the alert will trigger, and remain triggered until there is 10 or less scans in the last 60 minutes

Novu.Link will automatically email all team members with a verified email address, and emit a webhook event, every time your alert is triggered (enters an active state, called “pending”), or is completed (“resolved”).

Creating an alert

To create an alert, either go to the Magic Link you want to create the alert for, or just go directly to https://app.novu.link/alerts/create.

Scan Type

You can choose based on what you want the alert to trigger:

Successful scans
- Will count only the scans that have been successfully processed
Failed scans
- Will count and trigger only on failed scans
All scans
- Will sum failed and successful scans together

Condition

Choose if you want your alert to trigger when the scans you chose in the previous step are:

Greater than
- While the value is above the counted scans, the alert will be active (“pending”)
Less than
- While the value is below the counted scans, the alert will be active (“pending”)

Target scans

The target value that will trigger the alert. If your condition is “greater than”, this is the minimum amount of scans needed to trigger the alert. If your condition is “less than”, this is the maximum amount of scans that will trigger the alert.

Time Window

The time window will be used to compute the total scans you chose in “Scan Type” that occurred. Scans and clicks outside the time-window are not included in the calculations.
