Alert Review Queues
Alert Queues allow you to streamline and manage alerts effectively, providing a system for tracking issues based on rules or risk levels. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Alert Queues, assigning alerts, and using them to manage a manual review process.
How to Create and Configure an Alert Queue
Alert queue can be configured based on rule or risk level. Please refer below for step-by-step instruction. Please refer to Rule Editor Guide If you need to create a new rule.
Queue types
Queue type determines how we group alerts. Sardine currently supports following queue types
-
Customer session/transaction
-
Customer
-
Device (device session)
-
Recipient queues (contact your account manager if you want to use it)
-
Business
-
Issuing transaction
If the queue is a session or transaction type, each new session or transaction will create a new alert if it hits the condition of enqueuing. This is suited for payment fraud use cases, for instance, where you want to review each transaction separately.
If the queue is a customer type, we group alerts around customers and we aggregate all sessions from the same user under one customer page. This is suited for cases like onboarding sanction checks.
How to Assign an Alert to a Team Member
Alerts generated in your queue can be assigned to specific users for review. This section outlines the steps for assigning alerts to team members, ensuring that the appropriate person takes action.
Way to enqueue session/customer/device/transaction to a queue
There are four ways to enqueue a session to put an entity (session, customer, etc) into the queue.
-
Realtime
-
Rule evaluation: if rule matches the condition, an entity is put into the queue. Note rule has to be live (not shadow)
-
Risk-level: enqueue all entity if riskLevel is the certain value
-
-
Routine (batch transaction monitoring): Sardine runs batch routine to check past transactions and can put entities into the review queue
-
Manually from the dashboard: when analysts review sessions, they can add queue from the UI

How to Create and Manage Custom Decision Tags
Decision tags allow you to categorize alerts based on specific actions or decisions. This section explains how to create custom decision tags to fit your team’s unique workflow and decision-making process.
How to Leverage Webhooks to Automate Your Workflows
Webhooks allow you to automate actions based on alerts by sending real-time data to other systems. This section explains how webhooks can be used to trigger automated workflows, such as setting an account on hold, triggering an IDV step up, or triggering events based on specific alerts.
