PowerDMARC Alerts Configuration Guide
Overview: PowerDMARC Alerts
PowerDMARC’s Alerts feature enables continuous monitoring of your domains and proactively notifies the relevant teams when action is required. Instead of manually checking the dashboard, alerts surface critical security events in real time—helping you respond faster, reduce risk, and maintain complete visibility across your email authentication ecosystem.
Alerts notify you of important events such as:
Changes to DNS authentication records
DNS validation failures
Suspicious or malicious activity originating from your domain
Breaches of defined threshold-based metrics
Notifications are delivered via email and within the PowerDMARC portal, ensuring timely awareness and faster remediation. As part of PowerDMARC’s comprehensive risk management suite, Alerts are designed to be easy to configure, flexible, and highly effective.
What’s New: Enhanced PowerAlerts (Beta)
PowerDMARC has introduced an enhanced alerting system—an advanced evolution of the legacy PowerAlerts feature—designed to provide greater control, flexibility, and visibility into security-related events across your domains.
With this upgrade, users can:
Create granular alert configurations
Combine multiple conditions into a single alert
Manage notifications centrally across multiple delivery channels
This ensures that the right stakeholders are notified at the right time, reducing response time and operational overhead.
Supported Alert Types
DNS Alerts – Monitor DNS record changes and validation failures
Threshold Alerts – Monitor email activity and authentication metrics based on defined limits

Conclusion
PowerDMARC’s enhanced alerting system empowers you to proactively monitor and respond to critical security events across your domains with confidence. By configuring DNS Alerts, you gain immediate visibility into DNS changes and validation failures, while Threshold Alerts help you detect unusual activity patterns and authentication anomalies based on defined metrics.
With flexible condition building, severity-based prioritization, and centralized notification delivery, Alerts ensure that the right stakeholders are informed at the right time—enabling faster response, reduced risk, and stronger email security posture. Once configured, alerts continuously operate in the background, giving you real-time insights without the need for constant manual checks.
By leveraging these capabilities, you can stay ahead of potential threats, maintain compliance, and ensure uninterrupted protection for your domains through PowerDMARC’s comprehensive risk management framework.
