⚙️ How it works

👀 What it looks at: Slack, Notion, Linear, Hex, Datadog, Sentry, Figma, Gmail and Google Sheets, and anything you paste or upload.
🛠️ What it does: watches your ad spend and warns you before something burns through your budget. Its main jobs include set accounts and thresholds, read an ad platform export, pull numbers from a connected source and run the spend and performance check.
📬 What it sends you: daily spend and performance check (every weekday morning), midday burn check (every weekday at midday) and weekly budget pace check (every Monday morning).
⏰ How often: 3 scheduled jobs run by themselves, and you can also ask it anything at any time.
✋ Your say: its instructions tell it to wait for your OK before it sends, posts or changes anything for you.
👋 First time: it asks you a few quick setup questions and remembers your answers.

Marketplace description
