Statistics Cards

Four metrics display at the top:

MetricDescription
Total SignalsAll signals received

Processing Signals

Signals are processed automatically when mapping rules match. To trigger manual processing:

  1. Click Process Signals
  2. Processing runs immediately against all current mapping rules
  3. Results display when complete, showing processed/successful/failed counts and duration

Use manual processing when:

  • Testing new or updated mapping rules
  • Clearing a backlog of pending signals
  • Reprocessing after rule changes

Processed Signals Table

The table displays processed signals in two tabs:

Usage Limits

Alerts display when approaching your plan's Raw Signal or Mapped Signal limits. These appear above the statistics cards.

When the raw signal limit is reached, webhook endpoints return 429 status codes and new signals are rejected unless usage overages are enabled on paid plans.
