Case Study
The Challenge
Maintaining high-quality, uninterrupted communication with customers is vital to SavvyMoney’s operations. The company identified a need to improve visibility into the behavior and volume of emails generated by its applications. At the time, there was no automated method to analyze or detect irregularities in email traffic, leaving the Email Marketing Group dependent on manual monitoring or delayed feedback from service disruptions. To strengthen observability, the company aimed to implement a solution that could:
- Automatically analyze the daily volume of emails sent by applications
- Parse relevant data and store it in a structured, query-able format
- Compare live metrics to predefined volume thresholds
- Notify responsible personnel in case of abnormal patterns or anomalies
