Configure billing alerts

Steps

1. 1

   Open the Alerts page

   Go to Dashboard → Alerts. Here you can create rules that evaluate automatically after each AWS sync — no cron jobs or external setup required.

2. 2

   Create a budget exceeded rule

   Add a budget_exceeded rule and set your monthly USD cap (e.g. $5,000). EcoSync compares total synced spend against this threshold and emails you when it's exceeded.

3. 3

   Add a cost spike rule

   Create a cost_spike rule with a percentage threshold (e.g. 20%). You'll be notified when monthly spend jumps significantly compared to the previous sync.

4. 4

   Verify email delivery

   Alerts are sent to your account email. In production, ensure RESEND_API_KEY is configured on the server so delivery succeeds.
