## Source volume alert
1617
You can create an alert that notifies you when the volume of events received by your source in the last 24 hours changes beyond a percentage you set. For example, if you set a change percentage of 4% and your source received 100 events over the first 24 hours, Segment would notify you the following day if your source ingested fewer than 96 or more than 104 events.

## Activation event health spikes or drops

You can create an Activation event health spikes or drops alert that notifies you when events sent from your audience to a downstream destination have failures to a destination above a certain threshold. For example, if you set a change percentage of 4% and your destination received 100 events from your Audience over the first 24 hours, Segment would notify you the following day if your destination ingested fewer than 96 or more than 104 events.
