# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.smaq.io/documentation/features/automations/multi-metrics-alert.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
