Notifications
Soda’s notification system helps you stay informed when data issues occur—whether it’s a failed check or an anomaly detected through metric monitoring. Notifications are dynamically dispatched using Notification Rules, allowing you to target alerts based on specific properties, attributes, or datasets.
How Notification Rules work
Notification Rules define when and to whom a notification is sent. Rules can be configured to match specific checks or anomalies, ensuring the right people are notified at the right time.
Creating a Notification Rule
Only users with the Manage Notification Rules permission can create or edit rules. All users can view rules. Read about Global and Dataset Roles
To create a new Notification Rule:
Click on your profile in Soda Cloud and select Notification Rules from the menu.
Click New Rule.
Provide a name for the rule.
Define the Rule Scope.
Checks:
All checks: The rule applies to every check in your organization.
Specific checks: Build custom rules by filtering on check properties, dataset properties, or attributes.
Define the recipients (users, groups, or integrations like Slack, Teams, or webhooks, see Integrations).
...and choose the alert type: Warn & Fail, Fail, Not Evaluated, Excluded, or all results.
[Optional] Advanced options
Enable Granular Results to include column-level details and check results.
Enable Personalized Message to include context for this notification rule.
Save to create the Notification Rule.
Pausing Notification Rules
You can pause a Notification Rule at any time to temporarily disable alerts without deleting the rule.
