Notification types

This page explains the notification types you can choose when creating or editing a notification.

Invoices

For invoice notifications, you can select the billing profiles you want to get notified for. If you don't select any, you'll receive notifications for all your billing profiles.

• New invoices: Get notified when there's a new invoice or adjustment or when payments are due. The notification contains a link to the invoice.

• New proforma invoices: Get notified when there's a new proforma invoice. The notification contains a link to the Invoices page, where you can use Filter by status to select proforma invoices.

• Due or overdue payments: Get notified when invoices are due or overdue.

  • We send the first reminder 7 days before an invoice is due.
  • We send the second reminder 4 days after the invoice's due date.
  • We send the third reminder 10 days after the invoice's due date.

Cloud governance

• Credit utilization: Get notified on 75% of your Google Cloud or AWS credits and when they are fully exhausted.

• Quota utilization: Get notified when your Google Cloud or AWS service quotas utilization is over 80% or 50%, respectively. That is, we check your usage every 4 hours and if it's over the quota, we'll send you a notification.

• Cloud incidents: Get notified of known infrastructure issues with Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services.

Cloud cost anomalies

Get notified when your cloud costs deviate from the anticipation (see Manage anomaly notifications for details).
