Get an email when a project starts flagging at twice its usual rate, with a link straight to the items behind it.

A spike in flagged content is the first sign of a raid, a spam run or a rule that suddenly matches too much. The overview has shown a warning for it, but only to someone looking at the overview.

Today, that warning also arrives by email.

How it works

• Same signal as the dashboard. When a project flags at twice its 30-day rate over the last two days, on at least 50 flagged items, the team is alerted. The email shows the two rates and the item count.

• One email, not a stream. A project is alerted at most once a day, however long the spike lasts.

• Straight to the items. The button in the email, and the one on the overview warning, open your inbox on the flagged items of the spike window. Save it as a view if you want to keep watching.

• Yours to switch off. Alerts are on for everyone by default. Turn them off under Account → Notifications; the unsubscribe link in the email does the same.
