> Enable notifications, which trigger emails for service health and data drift reporting. Configure Service Health, Data Drift, Accuracy, and Fairness monitoring.

# Notifications tab

DataRobot provides automated monitoring with a configurable notification system, alerting you when service health, data drift status, model accuracy, or fairness values exceed your defined acceptable levels. Notifications can trigger in-app alerts, emails, and webhooks. They are off by default but can be enabled by a deployment owner. Keep in mind that notifications only control whether emails are sent to subscribers; if notifications are disabled, monitoring of service health, data drift, accuracy, and fairness statistics still occurs. By default, notifications occur in real time for your configured status alerts, allowing your organization to quickly respond to changes in model health without waiting for scheduled health status notifications; however, you can choose to send notifications on the monitoring schedule.

To set the types of notifications you want to receive and how you receive them, in the Deployments inventory, open a deployment and click the Notifications tab.

> [!NOTE] Deployment consumer notifications
> A deployment consumer only receives a notification when a deployment is shared with them and when a previously shared deployment is deleted. They are not notified about other events.

> [!TIP] Schedule deployment reports
> You can also [schedule deployment reports](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/classic-ui/mlops/governance/deploy-reports.html) on the Notifications tab.

## Configure monitoring definitions

Monitoring definitions are located on the deployment settings pages, and your control over those settings depends on your [deployment role](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/reference/misc-ref/roles-permissions.html#deployment-roles) — owner or user. Both roles can set personal notification settings; however, only deployment owners can set up schedules and thresholds to monitor the following:

- Service health
- Data drift status
- Accuracy
- Fairness

## Enable notification policies

To configure deployment notifications through the creation of notification policies, you can configure and combine notification channels and templates. The notification template determines which events trigger a notification, and the channel determines which users are notified. When you create a notification policy for a deployment, you can use a policy template without changes or as the basis of a new policy with modifications. You can also create an entirely new notification policy.

To use notification policies for a deployment, in the Notification configuration section, click Enable notifications configuration:

## Create notification policies

After you enable notification configuration, click + Create a policy to add or define a policy for the deployment. You can use a policy template without changes or as the basis of a new policy with modifications. You can also create an entirely new notification policy:

In the Create a policy dialog box, select one of the following, and then click Next:

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Use template | Create a policy from a template, without changes. |
| Create from template | Create a policy from a template, with changes. |
| Create from scratch | Create a new policy and optionally save it as a template. |

### Use template

In the Create a policy dialog box, select a policy, and then click Next:

Enter a Policy name, then click Create policy.

### Create from template

In the Create a policy dialog box, select a policy, and then click Next:

On the Choose trigger tab, select an Event group or a Single event, then click Next:

On the Choose channel tab, click Use existing channel and select a channel, or click Create new, enter a Channel name, and then configure the following fields:

| Channel type | Fields |
| --- | --- |
| External |  |
| Webhook | Payload URL: Enter the URL that should receive notification payloads.Content type: Select application/json (when the payload URL requires JSON) or application/x-www-form-urlencoded (when the payload URL requires URL encoded data).Secret token: (Optional) If required by the webhook, enter the secret token.Enable SSL verification: By default, DataRobot verifies SSL certificates when delivering payloads and doesn't recommend disabling this option.Show advanced options: Define Custom headers for the HTTP request.Test connection: This type of connection must pass testing before it can be saved |
| Email | Email address: Enter the email address that should receive notifications. |
| Slack | Slack Incoming Webhook URL: Enter an incoming webhook URL, generated through your Slack workspace. For more information, see the Slack documentation.Test connection: This type of connection must pass testing before it can be saved |
| Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams Incoming Webhook URL: Enter an incoming webhook URL, generated through your Microsoft Teams channel. For more information, see the Microsoft Teams documentation.Test connection: This type of connection must pass testing before it can be saved. |
| DataRobot |  |
| User | Enter one or more existing DataRobot usernames to add those users to the channel. To remove a user, in the Username list, click the remove icon . |

After you select or create a channel, click Next, confirm the Trigger, Channel, or Policy name, then click Create policy or Finish and save as template:

### Create from scratch

On the Choose trigger tab, select an Event group or a Single event, then click Next:

On the Choose channel tab, click Use existing channel and select a channel, or click Create new, enter a Channel name, and then configure the following fields:
