Many situations require monitoring a specific KPI over time and taking targeted optimization actions based on its changes. Instead of manually checking everything yourself, you can now automate this process with automatic rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps below to learn how to use custom date ranges in automatic rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin! <\/strong>
Custom date intervals are available from the Pro plan and above. If you are currently subscribed to the Starter plan consider upgrading to Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Go to Rules and click on +New Rule<\/li>
  2. Select the rule based on the desired rule action<\/li>
  3. Define a name for your rule and the maximum look-back time<\/li>
  4. Add any standard rule conditions as needed<\/li>
  5. Select the metric for which you want to use a custom date range, then enable “Use custom intervals.”<\/li>
  6. In the custom intervals section specify a different look-back window from that of the default look-back range of the rule. Example: Between day 5 and day 2.<\/em><\/li>
  7. Optionally duplicate the last condition with custom intervals and update the interval range to “Today and Yesterday”<\/li>
  8. Specify the how often you want the rule to execute and then click Save<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>
