Data Activator - create alert where no new accounts were opened last week

[jhenscheid1]

Hello, I've been doing some testing with the Data Activator alert option and I was able to create alerts where sales went over a threshold.  However, I am being asked for a couple other scenarios and have not been able to determine how to set them up.

One, we have potential accounts (leads) that our sales team is trying to open and I have a report that is counting how many are opened each week.  I would like to create a weekly alert that is generated whenever the opened accounts is zero.  I would want this alert to be sent on Monday.  Is this possible with the current options or do I need to create a workflow?

The other scenario is to create an alert whenever the sales amount from these opened accounts goes up (week-over-week) by a certain amount.  I've created an alert for when sales hits a threshold, but, to me, that is just a one-time alert and was hoping to create an alert that would send a notification each week.

Thanks

Hi @jhenscheid1 ,

Data activator comes with limited features,but you can build a flow with power automate using recurrence,run a query against a dataset ,send email notifications.

Thank you for the reply.  Assuming this is mentioned in an article or blog, do you have the link to it?  And is there a timeline for closing this gap?

Thanks,

Jeff

I think it is mentioned in the thread where they ask for feedback on data activator features.

That's a known gap and Will Thompson mentioned that they are working on the "reporting of stuff not happening"  part.
