How do I set budget alert thresholds and notification channels?

In OpsNow FinOps Plus, you can configure budget alert thresholds based on usage percentage or absolute dollar amounts, and designate the notification channels and recipients.

📌 Examples of Alert Thresholds

  • Alert when 80% of the budget is used
  • Alert when spending exceeds $1,000
  • Alert when actual usage exceeds budget by 10% or more

⚙️ How to Configure

  1. Go to [Budgets] > [Create Budget] or edit an existing budget
  2. In the [Set Alerts] step, configure the following:
    • Threshold: Percent or dollar amount
    • Trigger Type: Actual Spend, Forecasted Spend, etc.
    • Alert Channel: Email (Slack, Webhook, and others will be supported soon)
    • Recipient: Add one or more email addresses

🔁 Multiple Channels and Recipients Supported
You can add multiple alert channels and multiple recipients for a single budget item, making it easier to manage alerts at the team level.

📌 By using pre-alerts, you can proactively detect overspending risks before they happen and maintain greater control over your cloud budget.
