Improvement

Efficiently send large volumes of targeted push notifications to thousands of recipients using Ably's new Batch Push API.

This API supports directly publishing large numbers of distinct push notifications in a single request. Instead of making individual requests for each device or user, you can aggregate all notification payloads and recipient details into a single request, drastically reducing the complexity and overhead associated with high-volume notification sends.

The batch push endpoint allows you to publish up to 10,000 push notifications in a single request by specifying a list of recipients and corresponding payloads.

Improvement

New feature

We’re excited to introduce Billing Alerts, a proactive spend-management tool that empowers you to set custom cost limits and receive timely notifications when you approach your thresholds.

What’s New?

• Custom Thresholds: Customers can now define one or more alerts based on spend thresholds.
• Automated Monitoring: Every 10 minutes, your account’s usage and spend (calculated in dollars) are checked. When a configured threshold is crossed an alert is sent out.
• Flexible Delivery: You can choose different recipients for different thresholds.
• Easy Management: Account owners can create and delete alerts for themselves and any billing users, while billing users can manage their own alerts.

Setting up alerts allows you to monitor your costs and address situation quickly if needed - monitor your usage closely, get in touch with Ably support to investigate any unusual spikes, or even disable an API key if necessary to prevent further charges.

How to set up Billing Alerts?

1. Go to Account Billing page and scroll down to Billing Alerts (or follow this link).

2. Set up as many limits as you need, and see the full list with the current status in the Active Alerts section.
