Configure Notification Settings

To set up email notifications:

  1. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Settings.

  2. Click Notifications.

  3. Toggle which messages you'd like to receive from Airbyte. All email notifications will be sent by default to the creator of the workspace. To change the recipient, edit and save the notification email recipient. If you would like to send email notifications to more than one recipient, you can enter an email distribution list (ie Google Group) as the recipient.

  4. Click Save changes.

To set up webhook notifications:

  1. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Settings.

  2. Click Notifications.

  3. Have a webhook URL ready if you plan to use webhook notifications. Using a Slack webook is recommended. Create an Incoming Webhook for Slack.

  4. Toggle the type of events you are interested to receive notifications for.

    1. To enable webhook notifications, the webhook URL is required. For your convenience, we provide a 'test' function to send a test message to your webhook URL so you can make sure it's working as expected.
  5. Click Save changes.

Enable schema update notifications

To get notified when your source schema changes:

  1. Make sure you have Automatic Connection Updates and Connection Updates Requiring Action turned on for your desired notification channels; If these are off, even if you turned on schema update notifications in a connection's settings, Airbyte will NOT send out any notifications related to these types of events.

  2. On the Airbyte Cloud dashboard, click Connections and select the connection you want to receive notifications for.

  3. Click the Settings tab on the Connection page.

  4. Toggle Schema update notifications.
