Notifications

A key benefit of the CloudZero platform is the ability to maintain a powerful normalized data model of your cost infrastructure, create predictive models of its future behavior, and send you Notifications when CloudZero believes that something needs your attention. CloudZero provides global Notifications and Notifications based on Views.

CloudZero Views help decentralize cost management in your engineering organization by providing targeted cost visibility to individual teams. Each View includes a Connection to an email, a Slack channel, or both, to provide Notifications.

Where will notifications be sent?

Notifications will be sent to two primary channels: email and Slack.

To ensure you receive notification emails, you must allow emails from cloudzero.com and hello.cloudzero.com.

To receive notifications on Slack, you must set up Slack integration.

What notifications will be sent?

The CloudZero app provides the following types of notifications:

• Weekly Updates: Get your cost update every Monday for the last seven days, showing you the biggest changes week over week. Normally these notifications are sent on Tuesday.
• Monthly Updates: Get your cost update at the end of the month, showing you the biggest changes month over month. Normally these notifications are sent on the third of fourth day of the month.
• Anomaly Alerts: Get an alert when CloudZero detects unexpected spend during billing ingest, up to three times a day. CloudZero provides granular details about the services and accounts that seem to be responsible.
• Budget Notifications: Get a Notification for each View if the spend exceeds the configured threshold, 80 or 100%.
