In Microsoft 365 admin center, using the Security and Compliance Center portal, an administrator can create and configure alert profiles and policies from the Alert policies page. The same can be done using the New-ProtectionAlert cmdlet in PowerShell. These newly created alerts take 24 hours to come into effect. M365 Manager Plus, an intuitive Microsoft 365 reporting, managing, monitoring, auditing, and alerting tool lets you create alert profiles and manage them easily.
