Cloud Cost Anomaly Detection
Starts when: Hourly, with a daily summary, escalating when spend passes the threshold
Free plan · Outcome verification included · You approve every connection
How it runs
Six stages, from the moment it starts to the checks that keep running afterwards.
It starts
Hourly, with a daily summary, escalating when spend passes the threshold
Awish plans it and asks for each app
The apps it needs are connected one at a time, with your permission, before anything runs.
It does the work
Exactly as the request below describes, across the connected apps.
It stops where a person should decide
Do not shut down resources automatically unless they are explicitly pre-authorised non-production resources.
It verifies the outcome
After each run, Awish checks that the ticket, alert or access change was applied and recorded.
It keeps monitoring
Failures, silent failures and connection health are watched on every plan; anomalies, root cause and recommendations on Business.
The request it runs
This is what opens in chat when you use the template. Change any part of it before anything connects.
“Set up an automation that manages cloud cost anomaly detection and owner notification. Run it every hour and send a daily cloud-cost summary at 9:00 AM, escalating immediately when spend moves beyond the defined threshold. It should compare spend by service, account and team against the baseline and the budget, identify the top drivers, map the resource owner, alert them, create the investigation task and track the resolution. Connect it with Slack, Jira and Google Sheets. Do not shut down resources automatically unless they are explicitly pre-authorised non-production resources.”

Questions about this template
Can I change where it stops for approval?
Yes. Open the template in chat and say where you want it to stop. The plan updates before anything connects.
What if one of these apps is not connected yet?
Awish asks you to connect each app it needs, one at a time, before the workflow runs. You can decline any of them.
How does Awish know this workflow worked?
After each run it checks that the ticket, alert or access change was applied and recorded, in the app where that should happen. If a run reports success but the result is missing, it flags a silent failure.
Run it on your own apps
It opens in chat with the request written. See the plan, approve each connection, and Awish verifies the outcome from the first run.
