Notification for more visits than yesterday - google-analytics

I am trying to setup a notification to occur when:
The current amount of Users, today is greater than that of the previous day's.
For instance.. If yesterday shows as having 500 users and today, at 5 o'clock PM, there are 501 users... Is there anyway to send out a single notification as soon as the threshold is broken... and not for every single new user after that threshold?

Closest thing would be a custom alert (via intelligence events->custom alerts or admin->tools and assets->custom alerts).
If you set this up as a daily alert it will be sent only once per day. I have never tested this with absolute numbers (only with "increases by %" as condition), but since the option is offered in the interface I guess it should work.

my google analytics shows data from realtime stream but no hits in standard report

I can see traffics in realtime stream, there are active users on my site.
But I can't see visitor information in standard report.
My site was set up long times ago, and previously data collecting works fine, so it shouldn't be the 'new property not display data within 24 hours' issue.
I did modify my property yesterday, I've added 'referral exclusion' item, and deleted few minutes later.
There're no filters in my view anymore.
No hits collected mostly like happen after I've done item 4(change property).
How can I fix this issue, any ideas?
Did you check your monthly quota? (admin > property settings > property hit volume > last month).
In the free version of GA you've 10 million hits per month per property.(https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/limits-quotas).
Moreover if you send more than 200,000 sessions per day to Analytics will result in the reports being refreshed only once a day. This can delay updates to reports and metrics for up to two days.

Maybe one of these conditions is the cause of the issue.

ChartBoost negative balance

Today we launched our first campaign on Chartboost. We added 300$ on account and started our first campaign. In less than one our we spent all the money. Then I switched campaign off but still the balance going up in negative. Can you help me why? Beacuse we didn't pay for that additional negative balance we made campaign for 290$ not 450$ ...
What can we do?
The most common reason for campaigns to go over budget is the fact that they reach their budget in the minutes before the first check that compares the spend to the budget. This can happen if you your campaign has a wide target (ie - if you are targeting the whole world for example). Campaigns that have very broad targeting (little to no usage of filtering or available targeting on the dashboard) will serve impressions very quickly and this only increases the probability of exceeding the budget.
It is also very common for CPI campaigns to continue to "Spend Money" even after the campaign has been turned off. The reason why this happens is that we attribute installs to recorded clicks up to 21 days after the click. Also, the Install is not recorded until the 1st bootup of the app. For a number of reasons this 1st bootup may not occur until a couple of days after downloading onto the device from the App Store. There is no way to "turn off installs" for clicks that have already occurred.
Hope this helps.

Google Analytics: hits stop getting counted

We're implementing Google Analytics in retail consumer kiosk software. There is no Javascript or SDKs or web pages involved - we craft a URL per Measurement Protocol and post it. We find that sometimes hits seem to just stop getting counted. If we watch the Real-Time section on the GA web site we can see that our hits continue to get posted, but over in the Behavior / Screens section the number of screen views for this device for today stops incrementing.
It's not just a "sometimes you have to wait 24 hours" thing, because Tuesday and Wednesday of last week still show zero today. If it's a rate limit, I can't see what - we're nowhere near 200k hits per day (per user, but from our point of view each kiosk is a user - we don't have any means to identify individual users); we shouldn't be hitting 500 hits per session because we send a session start (ec=Session&sc=Start) each time the user does something on the main menu and a session end (ec=Session&sc=End) each time the workflow finishes, which shouldn't ever be more than 20 screens - the default 'idle timeout' definition of a session wouldn't work well for us since a user can legitimately be working on a single screen for 10 minutes or more editing a picture whereas also a user can finish and leave and the next user in line start using the kiosk within just a few seconds; we shouldn't be sending events 'too fast' because it takes a couple seconds for a human to read the screen and reach out and touch a button.
What we observe is that some days it counts up to 340-360 and stops and some days it stays at 0 permanently. Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?
11/24: Today it went up to 352 and then stopped. This was about one hour of activity. All of this has been done with "Highest precision" selected.
12/1: Still same, counts for about one hour, to 347 screen views today, then stops incrementing.
When I look at Audience/Overview it says "Sessions 1". There should be dozens of sessions, split up by when we send (ec=Session&sc=Start). I think it must not be recognizing that as a session, it must be using the session timeout (idle), and staying all within a single session, and therefore limiting to 500 hits (we've got some events to go along with the screen views). And this is just wrong. Session should end when we say it does.
12/1: One correction, we actually do send sc=start and sc=end, with the values lower-case, as specified by Google.
My coworker did some experimenting and found that sc=start is ignored on t=event hits. It is recognized on t=pageview hits. I changed my reporting a bit to generate a fake pageview when a session starts, just so I could send the sc=start, and now the counts are accurate.

NetSuite case ageing notification

Below question is related to NetSuite Support Module.
We want to send an email notification to the support rep assigned to the case if the time since last modification of the case has exceeded 48 hours. This notification needs to be sent for each case as soon as it ages over 48 hours since last modification,
I tried a saved search notifiaction, but that does not work as the case which exceeds 48 hours is not a new record.
I am not able to figure out what the trigger would be for a workflow or a script to make this notification work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Use a workflow
make initiation "Scheduled"
use a condition that the Case is not closed or whatever works for you
under Saved Search set up a search that ids cases older than 48 hours
the saved search will run every half an hour and pick up your aging cases.
To finish this you need to decide if the same case will get another every half an hour until it's been dealt with. If so the workflow can end when the email goes out. If not then the workflow needs to go into some state waiting for the next escalation or waiting for some delay until you can ping the assignee again.

Why are Google Analytics Dashboard statistics changing?

Background:
I have a Google Analytics account using which I am tracking user activity for web and mobile app. After logging into your account and choosing the web property and the corresponding view, you generally see a dashboard with quick stats like Pageviews, Users, Sessions, Pages/Sessions, Avg. Session Duration, Bounce Rate and percentage of new sessions. You can change the time period (from the top right area of the Dashboard) to get the same stats for that period.
Problem:
Last week, I was interested in the three main stats: Page views, Users and Sessions for a particular day - say, day A. The dashboard showed the following stats:
Pageviews - 1,660,137
Users - 496,068
Sessions - 983,549
This report was based on 100% of sessions.
I go back to the dashboard TODAY and check the same stats for the same day A. Here's what I saw:
Pageviews - 1,660,137
Users - 511,071
Sessions - 1,005,517
This report is also based on 100% of sessions.
Nothing was changed in the tracking code for the web and mobile app. Could someone explain why I have this difference in the stats? Is this normal?
They need some time to update the system, otherwise their system would overwhelm
When you first create a profile it can take up to 48 -72 hours for it to start showing data.
After that time data will appear instantly in the Real-time reports.
Standard reports take longer to finish processing. You need to remember the amount of data that is being processed. Some of the data may appear in the standard reports after a few hours. The numbers have not completed processing for at least 24 hours, so anything you look at then will not be accurate.
When checking Google Analytics never look at todays or yesterdays numbers in the standards reports, if you want accurate information. Things get even more confusing when you consider time zones. When exactly is it yesterday? I have noticed numbers changing as far back as 48 hours. But Google Says in there documentation 24 hours. I am looking for the link in the documentation will post it when I find it.
Found it: Data Limits
Data processing latency
Processing latency is 24-48 hours. Standard accounts that send more
than 200,000 sessions per day to Google Analytics will result in the
reports being refreshed only once a day. This can delay updates to
reports and metrics for up to two days. To restore intra-day
processing, reduce the number of sessions you send to < 200,000 per
day. For Premium accounts, this limit is extended to 2 billion hits
per month.
So try doing the same thing again today but check your last day being Monday. When you check again next week the numbers should be correct.
