Create alert

Alerts allow you to target and group Vercel runtime logs via configured conditions and receive notifications when runtime logs match these conditions.

Every configured alert will group the matching logs and allow you to review them in the period of 24 hours.

Use alerts to get notified about runtime errors, or target any kind of event that is specific to your application behaviour for example; trigger an alert when /api/cart/purchase route resolves with a status 200.
