Configure Quality Alerts

Stay informed about data quality issues with alerts. DataBridge monitors your datasets and notifies you when quality checks fail or data profiles show unexpected changes.

Alert Channels

DataBridge supports four notification channel types:

Email

Setup:

1. Go to Settings → Alert Channels and click Add Channel
2. Select Email
3. Enter a name (e.g., "data@yourcompany.com")
4. Provide comma-separated recipient email addresses
5. Click Save Channel

Slack

Setup:

1. Create an Incoming Webhook in your Slack workspace
2. Go to Settings → Alert Channels and click Add Channel
3. Select Slack
4. Enter a name and paste the webhook URL
5. Click Save Channel

Telegram

Setup:

1. Go to Settings → Alert Channels and select Telegram
2. Click Generate Code - a registration code appears (valid for 10 minutes)
3. Open the DataBridge bot in Telegram (the link is shown on screen)
4. Send the code to the bot using /connect <code> or /start <code>
5. The bot confirms registration and the channel appears in your settings

The Telegram bot can deliver alerts to private chats or group chats (add the bot to the group first, then send the code there).

Webhook

Sends a JSON POST request to any HTTP endpoint.

Setup:

1. Go to Settings → Alert Channels and click Add Channel
2. Select Webhook
3. Enter a name, the endpoint URL and an optional signing secret
4. Click Save Channel

Payload format:

{
  "queued_at": "2026-03-18T12:00:00Z",
  "title": "Check failed: not_null on users.email",
  "body": "Column email has 142 null values (2.3%)",
  "metadata": {
    "dataset": "public.users",
    "check_type": "not_null",
    "destination": "PostgreSQL Production"
  }
}

Attaching Alerts to Datasets

Alert channels are attached to individual datasets:

1. Go to Datasets and open a dataset
2. Switch to the Alerts tab
3. Configure alert thresholds
4. Select which alert channels should receive notifications for this dataset
5. Save

When a quality check on that dataset fails, all attached channels receive the alert.
