Quick Start

Get your first alert in five minutes.

1. Create Your Account

Accept a beta invite link to create your account. You'll land on the overview dashboard.

2. Connect a Data Source

The fastest way to start is with Google Tag Manager:

  1. Go to Settings > Data Sources.
  2. Click Connect GTM.
  3. Authorize with your Google account and select the GTM container you want to monitor.
  4. Adwize installs a monitoring tag in your container — no manual tag setup needed.

No GTM? Use the API instead.

You can send events from any system via the Custom API Integration. All you need is your API key. Check the API Reference for programmatic access to all Adwize features.

3. Verify Events Are Flowing

Navigate to the Events page. Within a few minutes of connecting your source, you should see events appearing. Each event shows its source, type, and timestamp.

4. Create Your First Rule

Go to the Rules page and click Create Rule. Try a simple threshold rule:

  • Name: High Error Rate
  • Type: Threshold
  • Event type: error (or any event type you see in your stream)
  • Operator: > (greater than)
  • Value: 5
  • Window: 15 minutes
  • Severity: Warning

Click Save. The rule engine evaluates rules every 15 minutes.

Let the AI help

You can also open the AI Agent and describe what you want in plain English, for example: "Alert me if there are more than 5 errors in 15 minutes."

5. See Your First Alert

Once the rule triggers, an alert appears on the Overview dashboard. You can acknowledge it, resolve it, or snooze it.
