Notification channels

A notification channel is a destination Costfluent can send alerts to. Channels belong to the organization, so every workspace's alerts can use them. Open Settings, then Notifications.

Before you start

• Adding, editing, testing and deleting channels needs the Owner, Integration Owner or Editor organization role.
• Channel types depend on your plan.

Add a channel

1. Under Notification Channels, select Add Channel.
2. Enter a Name, such as Engineering Alerts, and choose the Type.
3. Enter the destination for that type:
   • Email: the Email Address.
   • Slack: the Webhook URL of a Slack incoming webhook.
   • Microsoft Teams: the Incoming Webhook URL of a Teams incoming webhook.
   • Webhook: the Webhook URL of your own endpoint.
4. Save the channel.

Test a channel

Select Test on a channel to send a test message to it. Check that it arrives before relying on the channel for alerts.

Edit or delete a channel

Select the edit action to rename a channel. Select the delete action to remove it; you will no longer receive notifications on it.

How it behaves

• Detected anomalies go to every enabled channel in the organization.
• Spend, change and tag coverage alerts go to the channels the alert names; see Alerts.
• Budget thresholds are not sent to channels; they create an in-product notification.
• Scheduled cost reports are delivered by email to the destination chosen on the schedule.
