Create Alert

POSThttps://api.confident-ai.com/v2/scheduled-alerts

Creates an alert that re-runs an aggregate query on a schedule and notifies when the result crosses the threshold, and returns its id. Notifications are delivered through the project's integrations that have alerting enabled for the alert's severity, so an alert in a project with no such integration still evaluates but reaches nobody.

thresholdSettingsobjectRequired
When the alert fires. Latency is compared in seconds, cost in USD, and rates such as ERROR_RATE as fractions between 0 and 1.
