# Configuring Sequential Testing Alerts ## 📖 Definition **Sequential Testing Alerts** offers a sensitivity threshold to detect underperforming variations early and trigger alerts or pause experiments. It enables you to make data-driven decisions swiftly and optimize user experiences effectively. Sequential Testing saves time and resources by stopping experiments that are unlikely to yield positive results. ## ⚙️ Configuration To enable Sequential Testing alerts on an experiment, apply the following steps: 1. Access the AB Test configuration 2. At the bottom of the first step, the Main information step, click on the Advanced Options 3. You can then configure 2 options: \\ 1. **The type of automation**\ You can either receive an email if your campaign is failing, a kind of “Warning, you’re experiment is going right into the wall” or directly pause the campaign if it’s failing.\\ 2. **The sensitivity threshold you want to experiment on**\ You have 3 different level of sensitivity here: * High - It’s the safest solution. You’ll be more likely to receive alerts **but** you’re sure that losing experiments will be detected sooner. * Low - It’s the more advanced setup. You’ll receive less alerts, **but your losing experiments will take longer to be detected**. * Balanced - It’s the half-way between the 2 previous detection levels. You can learn more about detection level on the [Sequential Testing Alert article](https://support.abtasty.com/hc/en-us/articles/9482663476892). Also, more information about Sequential Testing in the [FAQ](https://support.abtasty.com/hc/en-us/articles/9807466501276) article **Good to know 💡** You can only configure this setup if you selected a Primary Goal at the previous step! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
