Pipeline notifications

This how-to guide explains how registered Data Productivity Cloud users can set up and monitor the status of their data pipelines using pipeline notifications.

---

Prerequisites

Before setting up pipeline notifications, ensure the following:

• You have a registered Data Productivity Cloud account.
• You have access to the relevant projects and environments where the data pipelines are running.

---

What are pipeline notifications?

Pipeline notifications allow you to subscribe to email alerts for pipeline failures within projects and environments you have access to. These alerts help you respond quickly to issues, minimizing downtime, and improving overall reliability.

---

How pipeline notifications work

• Eligibility: Any user with access to a project or environment can subscribe to pipeline notifications.
• Notification triggers: Email alerts are currently sent only when a pipeline fails.
• Scope: Notifications are sent for failures in pipelines triggered by schedules or API executed pipelines.

Note

Pipelines run manually through Designer don't generate notifications.

Subscribe to pipeline notifications

1. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left of the Data Productivity Cloud.
2. Click Notifications.
3. Click the Add notification button at the top.

4. In the Add notification dialog, use the drop-down menus to select which Project and Environment you'd like to be notified about.

   Note

   • By default, the Run failure checkbox is selected to indicate when notifications apply only to scheduled and API-triggered runs—manual runs don't trigger alerts.
   • By default, the Email checkbox is selected as the delivery method for the notification.

5. Click Add.

When a notification has been added, you'll receive email alerts for any pipeline failures in the selected project that run in your chosen environment. You can manage your notification settings at any time to stop receiving alerts.

The email alert includes key details about the pipeline failure, such as:

- Project name.
- Environment name.
- Pipeline name.
- Time of failure.

The email also provides links to the Pipeline Observability dashboard and the Notifications page for further investigation.

Managing pipeline notifications

You'll return to the Notifications page, where your pipeline notification has been added, displaying the following:

• Project name.
• Environment name.
• Trigger status.
• Delivery method.

To edit a pipeline notification, click the pencil icon next to it. Modify your previous selections as needed, then click Save to apply the changes.

To permanently remove a pipeline notification, click the bin icon next to the pencil icon. Then click Delete to confirm the deletion.

Note

If you change your mind, you can cancel the deletion action by clicking Cancel in the confirmation dialog.
