The "Drawn Volume Profile" is not a drawing tool like other drawing tools, in that it is not creating a singular drawing of something. Rather, you are defining the area in which a Volume Profile study is created that covers that time period.

Therefore, you can build an automated strategy around these, but you have to access the volume profile study information. Refer to the following:
ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetStudyProfileInformation

Since this is not a drawing, the drawing tool alerts do not function on the Drawn Volume Profile. But, depending on what you are wanting to alert on, you can use the "simple alerts" functionality. Refer to the following:
