8 Notification Channels

Alerts where your team lives

Every channel below attaches to any of the five alert triggers — status change, latency, SSL expiry, DNS watchdog, domain expiry — and fires only when a quorum of regions confirms the failure.

How routing works

Channels are delivery targets; alert rules connect them to monitors. Create channels once under Alerts → Notification Channels, then attach them to rules with a trigger condition. Every channel has a Send Test button that fires a real notification — and cleans it up immediately, so no test PagerDuty incident lingers. Full walkthrough in the alert channels guide.
