Amply gives you the ability to create monitors that actively alert you of any events you would like to track.

Monitors alert you on specific events related to your sending infrastructure health. They allow you to define alert conditions for various events, like changes to customer IP reputation, bounce rates, and more. Amply events push data to your preferred destination, like via email, webhooks, or Slack.

Configure monitors and manage your alerts at a glance on the Monitors tab. You can create as many monitors as you'd like and update them at any time.

Create a New Monitor

To create a monitor in Amply:

Navigate to the Monitors Tab > Click on the "+ Add New" button
Select a monitoring type corresponding to the kind of telemetry you want to alert on.
Choose the Detection Method you would like to use.
Choose the Detection Type you would like to use.
Set your Alert Conditions.

You can customize alerts based on the Type, Detection Method, Detection Type, and Alert Conditions.

There are 3 types of monitors you can be alerted on - Domain Reputation, IP Reputation, or Unsubscribes.

The Detection Method you choose - Change Alert, Threshold Alert, or Anomaly Detection - will define the alert threshold.

The last thing you need to do is set the Alert Conditions you would like to use. We provide you with default alert conditions here but you can customize the settings to suit your use case.

We go over these in more detail in the Monitor Types section.

There are 3 types of monitors you can receive alerts on - Domain Reputation, IP Reputation, and Unsubscribes.
