Frequently Asked Questions

What types of anomalies can this agent detect?

The agent is trained to detect various anomalies, including sudden spikes or drops in daily/hourly spend, unusual spend distribution across time or campaigns, deviations from historical spending patterns, and discrepancies between spend and performance metrics (e.g., high spend with low impressions/clicks).

How frequently can I run these anomaly checks?

You can configure the agent to run checks on a custom schedule, from hourly to daily or weekly, depending on the urgency and granularity required. For critical, high-spend campaigns, hourly checks are recommended, while less volatile campaigns might be fine with daily or bi-daily reports.
