What it does

Listens for delivery events as they happen and catches dangerous intraday frequency spikes — the moment a creative starts over-serving the same audience — so the team can intervene before a full day of budget burns on a saturated placement.

When to use it

Use it for high-velocity campaigns where waiting for a daily report is too slow, or during launches and flash sales when frequency can blow past safe levels in hours. Requires your ad platform or a relay to send delivery events to the webhook.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming webhook receives near-real-time delivery events with creative ID, impressions, and reach.
  2. 2A logic step maintains a rolling frequency estimate and checks it against the hard ceiling and a velocity threshold.
  3. 3Events under the ceiling pass through and the run ends without noise.
  4. 4When a spike is detected, the incident — creative, current frequency, and trajectory — is appended to an Airtable incident log.
  5. 5A Slack alert fires to the on-call channel with the creative details and a recommended pause action.
