# Alerts

Alerts surfaces security-relevant events across your clients' Microsoft 365 tenants — things like leaked credentials, risky sign-ins, admin role changes, and users without MFA — so you can act on them instead of finding out about them later.

{% hint style="info" %}
Alerts is a Microsoft 365 capability, drawing on Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, and Purview signals. Google Workspace tenants aren't a data source for Alerts today. Google Workspace does integrate with Augmentt for employee and license data (see Discover), but Augmentt doesn't currently ingest Google Workspace security events, so there's no Alerts coverage for Google Workspace tenants.
{% endhint %}

You'll work with Alerts across three tabs in the product: **Alerts** (the live feed), **Settings** (turning alert types on and off, per company), and **Rules** (per-user snooze preferences).

## In this section

* **How Alerts Work** — the four alert families behind the feed, and how often you'll actually hear from Augmentt.
* **Enable Alert Notifications** — turning on email, PSA, and webhook delivery.
* **Monitored Alerts** — the full alert catalog, including Dedicated Posture Alerts (MFA and legacy auth regressions) and Posture Drift.
* **Safe Locations** — telling Augmentt what "normal" looks like for a tenant so location-based alerts don't get noisy, including the Auto Remediation setup for automatically responding to a small set of high-confidence risk types.
* **1-Click Remediation** — manual, on-demand response from any alert.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Alerts runs on a schedule against Microsoft Graph and your tenants' audit logs rather than a live webhook feed from Microsoft, so there's typically a short delay between something happening in a tenant and it showing up here — not instant, but close to it.
{% endhint %}

## 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://helpdesk.augmentt.com/modules/secure/alerts.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.
