# Creating an Alert from a Template

With the **Alerts** feature, you can create alerts that notify you when whenever certain revenue or business-impacting events occur.

This topic covers the process of creating an alert from a template. You can also [create an alert from scratch](/v3/platform/home/alerts/creating-alerts).

For an overview of the conceptual topics related to creating an alert, see the [Alerts Conceptual Guide](/v3/platform/home/alerts/alerts-conceptual-guide).

## Prerequisites

Ensure that you have **Administrator** privileges in Copilot. For more detailed information on these settings, see [Role-Based Access Control](/v3/platform/settings/rbac/role-based-access-control.mdx).

## Procedure

1. In the left menu, click **Home** > **Alerts**.
   The **Alerts** page is displayed.

2. Click **Create Alert**.
   The **Create alert** page is displayed.

3. Click **Use Template**.

4. In the **Use Template** section, do the following:
   * Select the tab of the fabric application you want to set up the alert for; whether **Orders**, **Inventory**, or **Product Catalog**. The templates available for that application are displayed.
   * Select a template.

5. Click **Next**.
   The **Alert details** section is displayed.

6. In the **Alert Name** field, enter a name for the alert.

7. In the **Description** field, enter a description of the alert.

**Note:** The fields in **Alert trigger conditions** are disabled when creating an alert from a template since they come pre-configured to trigger based on a specific event. For more details on editing the **Alert trigger conditions** fields, see the [create an alert from scratch](/v3/platform/home/alerts/creating-alerts) section.

8. In the **Look-back period** field, select the frequency at which fabric checks for events that could have triggered the alert.

9. Enter a value in the **Low Severity**, **Medium Severity**, and **High Severity** fields. For more detailed information on setting the severity threshold, see the [Alerts Conceptual Guide](/v3/platform/home/alerts/alerts-conceptual-guide).

10. Click **Next**.
    The **Review** section is displayed.

11. To receive email alerts about this event, in the **Alert notification** section, select **Subscribe to this alert**.
    Choosing to receive email alerts will only send an email to the address associated with your fabric account. Other users with shared access to your organization’s fabric account can \[subscribe to this alert]\(link to configured alerts tab) or view events that triggered this alert on the Alerts homepage.

12. Click **Save**.

The alert is created. You can access the alert in the **Configured Alerts** tab on the **Alerts** homepage.
