Automated Kochava Spend Anomaly Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens Kochava, checks each active campaign's spend pace and fraud flag rate against the thresholds you set, and the moment one crosses the line it texts the on-call marketing ops lead through Twilio with the campaign and the numbers, then saves the flagged campaign's report to Google Drive as a record.

In short

How do I get alerted to install fraud or spend spikes in Kochava?

WebRun checks your active Kochava campaigns every hour for a spend spike or a fraud flag rate above the threshold you set. The moment either appears, it texts the on-call marketing ops lead through Twilio with the campaign and the numbers, and saves the flagged report to Google Drive, so wasted or fraudulent spend gets caught within the hour.

  • Spend spikes and fraud flags get caught within the hour instead of at month end
  • The marketing ops lead gets the exact campaign and numbers, not a vague alert
  • Flagged reports build a record in Drive for spotting repeat offenders

Questions, answered

Does WebRun pause the campaign itself?

No. It only detects and reports the anomaly. Pausing spend or disputing fraudulent installs stays a decision for your marketing ops lead.

What counts as a fraud flag rate anomaly?

Whatever rate you set as the threshold. Only campaigns whose flagged install share crosses that line get texted about.

How far back does the saved report go?

Each report covers the specific campaign and window that triggered the alert, and prior flagged reports stay in Drive so you can compare patterns over time.

Put this on autopilot.
