Set up Alerts using Website Rules

There are two main ways to add a new website rule:
- Go to the settings for the monitor you want to set up an alert for.
- Configure in your account settings.

To set a website rule you must:
- Create a Rule Label to describe the alert
- Select a Rule Type to specify what type of event you want to alert for. You may also need to select which regions to use data from.
- Set Rule Conditions for when an event triggers an alert. You can set how many times the monitor should fail before you receive an alert.
- Pick the Delivery Groups you want to be alerted if the conditions are met.
An exception is Uptime Alerts, which involve a different set of instructions. You can read more in this article: Set up Uptime Alerts.
