To save you time and streamline your day-to-day support operations, you can set alerts to automatically create tickets for your sites.

Note: To set automated ticket creation on alerts, you'll first have to create an alert threshold profile

It's important to ensure that the alerts you receive are associated with a contact (and customer). If not, the automated tickets will enter your system as 'Undefined' — meaning you'll have to assign them manually. For a smoother experience, we recommended setting an association from the beginning. There are multiple ways to associate alerts with the correct contact/customer. We recommend setting a main contact for each customer. You could also assign each individual contact to their device
