Create customer alert by external ID​

This endpoint creates a new alert to monitor a customer's credit balance. There are three types of alerts that can be scoped to customers: credit_balance_depleted, credit_balance_dropped, and credit_balance_recovered. Customers can have a maximum of one of each type of alert per credit balance currency. credit_balance_dropped alerts require a list of thresholds to be provided while credit_balance_depleted and credit_balance_recovered alerts do not require thresholds.
