# Multi-Metrics Alert

A Multi-Metrics Alert lets you wire up complex conditions across several metrics with AND/OR logic. Use it when a [Metrics Alert](/documentation/features/automations/metrics-alert.md) (max 2 conditions, AND only) isn't expressive enough.

### When to use it

* "Alert when **(ROAS < 2.0 AND Spend > $1,000)** — bad performance at scale, not just bad performance on a $20/day budget."
* "Alert when **(GA4 conversion rate drops 25% OR Google Ads CPA spikes 30%)** — either signal means something's wrong."
* "Alert when **(impression share lost to budget > 30% AND impression share > 50%)** — we're capped by budget on a campaign with real demand."

### Configuration

#### Conditions

Add conditions the same way as [Metrics Alert](/documentation/features/automations/metrics-alert.md): pick connection, metric, condition type, threshold.

Each condition supports the same four types: Value Higher Than, Value Lower Than, Change since yesterday, Change over fixed period.

#### Logic

After adding two or more conditions, you set the **logic** between them:

* **AND** — all conditions must be true for the alert to fire.
* **OR** — any one condition triggers the alert.

For three or more conditions, you can group: e.g. `(A AND B) OR C` by setting A+B into an AND group and OR-ing the group with C.

> **\[Screenshot needed]** Multi-Metrics Alert with three conditions configured, the first two in an AND group, the third OR-ed in.

#### Schedule & recipients

Same as Metrics Alert.

### Tips

* **Start AND-restrictive.** Too many false positives if you OR everything. AND-combined alerts are usually the high-signal ones.
* **Document the intent.** Add a description to the alert ("Performance breakdown — only fires when ROAS and spend both look bad") so future-you remembers why this exists.
* **Don't replicate Daily Brief.** If you find yourself building a 5-condition OR alert, you probably want a Daily Brief instead.

### Tier availability

* **Growth, Scale, Agency** — fully available.
* **Starter** — not available; use [Metrics Alert](/documentation/features/automations/metrics-alert.md) instead.
