# How to create custom alerts

Define your own custom alerts

Create your own custom alerts with Adalysis. For example, you may want to create an alert to flag keywords with a CPC or CPA above your target, or ad groups with significantly higher ROAS than others in the same campaign.

#### Start from a template

Not sure where to start? Adalysis has prebuilt templates for the most common custom alerts, from campaigns spending without conversions to search terms worth adding as keywords.

1. Go to **Audit** > **Audit settings** > **Custom**.
2. Click **Create new alert for** and choose what you want to monitor, e.g. **Keywords**.
3. In the **Create custom alert** window, click the **template** link.
4. Browse the templates. Each one shows its conditions, date range and frequency.
5. Click **Copy & edit** next to the template you want.

The name, conditions, date range and frequency are filled in for you. You can change any of them before you save.

> Values marked **(adjust)** are placeholder amounts, rates or text, e.g. a cost threshold or "Black Friday". Update them to suit the account after copying.

Some templates also show a **Suggested auto resolve**, e.g. *Pause* or *Add as exact match keyword*. This is a recommendation only, so you'll need to set it up yourself if you want to use it.

Saving works in the same way as any other custom alert (see below).

See the full list of [custom alert templates](/tools/audit/how-to-create-custom-alerts/custom-alert-templates.md).

### Creating a custom alert&#x20;

#### Popular custom alerts

Here are a few of the most common custom alerts on the platform. You'll find all of these as templates:

* **Campaign CPA above target**, or ROAS below target
* **Converting campaigns limited by budget**
* **Keywords spending with no conversions**
* **Converting search terms not yet added as keywords**
