Manage notifications

This page provides guidance on how to manage notifications for Airbyte Cloud, allowing you to stay up-to-date on the activities in your workspace.

Notification Event Types

Type of Notification	Description
Failed Syncs	A sync from any of your connections fails. Note that if sync runs frequently or if there are many syncs in the workspace these types of events can be noisy
Successful Syncs	A sync from any of your connections succeeds. Note that if sync runs frequently or if there are many syncs in the workspace these types of events can be noisy
Automated Connection Updates	A connection is updated automatically (ex. a source schema is automatically updated)
Connection Updates Requiring Action	A connection update requires you to take action (ex. a breaking schema change is detected)
Sync Disabled Warning	A connection will be disabled soon due to repeated failures. It has failed 50 times consecutively or there were only failed jobs in the past 7 days
Sync Disabled	A connection was automatically disabled due to repeated failures. It will be disabled when it has failed 100 times consecutively or has been failing for 14 days in a row

Configure Notification Settings

To set up email notifications:

1. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Settings.

2. Click Notifications.

3. Toggle which messages you'd like to receive from Airbyte. All email notifications will be sent to the owner of this workspace. The owner of your workspace is noted at the top of the page.

4. Click Save changes.

To set up webhook notifications:

1. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Settings.

2. Click Notifications.

3. Have a webhook URL ready if you plan to use webhook notifications. Using a Slack webook is recommended. Create an Incoming Webhook for Slack.

4. Toggle the type of events you are interested to receive notifications for.

   1. To enable webhook notifications, the webhook URL is required. For your convenience, we provide a 'test' function to send a test message to your webhook URL so you can make sure it's working as expected.

5. Click Save changes.

Enable schema update notifications

To get notified when your source schema changes:

1. Make sure you have Automatic Connection Updates and Connection Updates Requiring Action turned on for your desired notification channels; If these are off, even if you turned on schema update notifications in a connection's settings, Airbyte will NOT send out any notifications related to these types of events.

2. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Connections and select the connection you want to receive notifications for.

3. Click the Settings tab on the Connection page.

4. Toggle Schema update notifications.
