Notifications
What creates a notification, where it goes, and the bell and Notifications page in the app.
Prodgator tells you about failures, deployments waiting for approval, security alerts and plan limits. Every member gets them in the app; admins can also send them to Slack and to outbound webhooks.
Each member picks their own email and Slack direct message categories in Settings > Notifications. Admins set where the whole organization's notifications go (the Organization delivery card and outbound webhooks) in Admin Console > Notifications.
What creates a notification
Prodgator creates notifications for:
- Pipeline failures
- Deployments that need approval, and their results (approved, rejected, deployed, failed, rolled back)
- New open security alerts with Critical or High severity
- Compliance violations
- System messages, such as reaching 80% of your plan's monthly run limit
Outside the app, notifications are grouped into three categories:
| Category | Covers |
|---|---|
| Pipeline failures | A pipeline run fails |
| Deployments | A deployment needs approval, succeeds, fails or is rolled back |
| Security and compliance | A new vulnerability or a compliance violation is found |
Where notifications go
| Channel | Plan | Set up by |
|---|---|---|
| In the app | All plans | Nothing to set up |
| Slack channel | Team and above | Admin |
| Slack direct messages | Team and above | Admin turns it on, each member opts in |
| One Slack channel per category | Business and above | Admin |
| Outbound webhooks | Business and above | Admin |
In the app
The bell in the header shows new notifications for your organization and for you as they arrive. The Notifications page lists them all. Filter by All or Unread, and by Pipeline, Security, Compliance, Deployments or System. You can mark notifications read one at a time or all at once.
Email settings need the Team plan or above. Each member picks the categories they want in Settings > Notifications, and an admin turns email on or off for the organization in Admin Console > Notifications. Email sending is not turned on for Prodgator yet, so these settings have no effect for now.
