Alerts and scheduling

When a check fails, CatalystData notifies your team through a channel you configure — email, webhook, Slack, or Microsoft Teams.

Creating a channel

Go to Alerts → Channels → Add Channel and choose a channel type.

Email — provide the recipient addresses; CatalystData sends the notification. If your organization requires multi-factor authentication on the recipient mailbox, that's handled on your mail provider's side and doesn't affect delivery.

Webhook, Slack, or Teams — provide the destination URL when you create the channel: a plain webhook URL, a Slack Incoming Webhook URL, or a Teams Incoming Webhook URL.

Creating an alert rule

Go to Alerts → Rules → Add Rule, pick a channel, choose what it watches (a specific check, or every check in a schedule), and a condition:

Condition	Fires when
on_failure	Any check failure or error
on_error	Only when the check's status is error — for example, a connection failure, not a normal failed assertion
after_n_failures	After a set number of consecutive failures (set consecutive_failures)
