Hi Andrew,
SAS does not provide dedicated APIs for Alerts (that would be a big API :-). What I'd suggest is using job execution and creating the alerts with SAS code. This would allow you to set up pretty much any alert you want/need. I don't have an explicit example to link to, but this is a good opportunity for me to create a basic example and you can take it from there. I'll most likely add this in a SAS Community article and will link in this thread.
