Notifications and alert rules
Set personal notification preferences and administrator alert rules.
On this page
Configure personal preferences
Open Notifications in the console with the intended workspace selected. Review the available email preferences for your role, including approval activity where permitted. Save a preference and confirm that the page reports the result.
The interface includes notification types for denial spikes, kill-switch lifecycle, policy activation, spend warnings, weekly summaries, and approval activity. A preference does not prove that an event has occurred or that delivery succeeded; delivery also depends on the configured service and the event path.
Configure workspace rules
Administrators manage alert rules, including the available spike-detection settings. Customer routes are /api/v1/notifications/preferences for member preferences and /api/v1/notifications/rules for administrator rule configuration. Keep the scope, threshold, and recipient responsibility explicit.
Choose an approval channel
Use Slack for supported linked workspace and personal-account flows, or inspect the checkpoint in the console. Use webhooks when your application needs signed events and delivery inspection.
Notification delivery does not grant approval authority. The checkpoint handler still checks current membership and supported separation-of-duties constraints.
Verify the outcome
Use a harmless test checkpoint in an authorized test environment. Compare the recorded pending/resolved state with the notification and the recipient’s authority. If delivery is missing, inspect the checkpoint first and gather sanitized identifiers for troubleshooting. Approval lifecycle.
