Notification Settings¶
Notification Settings controls alert delivery for anomalies, budgets, recommendations, and automations.
Open Notification Settings¶
Go to Settings > Notification Settings.

Global notification categories include Anomalies, Budget, Recommendations, and Automations. Severity filters include Critical, High, and Warning.
Delivery channels represented in the frontend include email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and in-app notification. Channels require their corresponding integration.
Personal notification preferences¶
The account menu’s Profile preferences > Notifications tab controls personal channels for Anomaly alerts, Budget alerts, Recommendation alerts, and Automation alerts.
Alert routing examples¶
| Alert | Suggested recipients |
|---|---|
| Critical anomaly | Finance operations, service owner, and platform on-call. |
| Budget threshold | Budget owner and finance analyst. |
| High-value recommendation | Engineering owner and FinOps reviewer. |
| Automation approval | Approver group named in the workflow policy. |
Best practices¶
- Send critical alerts to a monitored team channel and named owners.
- Avoid sending every low-severity event to broad lists.
- Test collaboration integrations after authorization or secret changes.
- Review inactive alerts and stale recipients.
