Activity Alert set up within the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center.
Can we set up to get the activity alert on the same day or specific time? We want there should be a prompt alert but we receive an alert after a few days after the activity happens. We want a specific alert on the user creation, deletion, and user password reset, and all within the time range I specify and it should be prompt and quick.

    Hi @Amit Kumar Singh ,
    According to my research and test, in the Alert Policy in the Office 365 Security & Compliance center, we cannot set up regular alert messages to be sent. Alert message will be sent out after trigger condition.
    If you want a specific alert on the user creation, deletion, and user password reset, you could recreate a activity alerts as below screen. But please pay attention to make sure enable the audit logs.
    If you want to view the alert for a specific time period, You can create an inbox rule in the mailbox that receives the alert, put the alert message in a specific folder, and then search for items in the folder based on time. Or you could set the time range in the View Alerts in Office 365 Security & Compliance.
    For more information about "Alert policies" you could refer to: Alert policies in the security and compliance center
    There is a example for create activity alert you could refer to: Creating Activity Alerts in Office 365 Security & Compliance Center
