Manage notifications

Cloud Self-Managed Community (OSS)Self-Managed Enterprise

This page provides guidance on how to manage notifications for Airbyte, allowing you to stay up-to-date on the activities in your workspace.

Notification Event Types

Type of Notification	Description
Failed Syncs	A sync from any of your connections fails. Note that if sync runs frequently or if there are many syncs in the workspace these types of events can be noisy
Successful Syncs	A sync from any of your connections succeeds. Note that if sync runs frequently or if there are many syncs in the workspace these types of events can be noisy
Automated Connection Updates	A connection is updated automatically (ex. a source schema is automatically updated)
Connection Updates Requiring Action	A connection update requires you to take action (ex. a breaking schema change is detected)
Warning - Repeated Failures	A connection will be disabled soon due to repeated failures. It has failed 20 times consecutively and there were only failed jobs in the past 4 days
Sync Disabled - Repeated Failures	A connection was automatically disabled due to repeated failures. It will be disabled when it has failed 30 times consecutively and has been failing for 7 days in a row
Warning - Upgrade Required (Cloud only)	A new connector version is available and requires manual upgrade
Sync Disabled - Upgrade Required (Cloud only)	One or more connections were automatically disabled due to a connector upgrade deadline passing

Enabling schema update notifications

To be notified of any source schema changes, make sure you have enabled Automatic Connection Updates and Connection Updates Requiring Action notifications. If these are off, even if you turned on schema update notifications in a connection's settings, Airbyte will NOT send out any notifications related to these types of events.

To edit this setting, click Connections and select the connection you want to receive notifications for. Click the Settings tab on the Connection page. In the Advanced Settings, toggle Schema update notifications.

Configure Email Notification Settings

Airbyte Cloud only

The following documentation only applies to Airbyte Cloud. You can try Airbyte Cloud for free with our 14-day trial.

To set up email notifications, click Settings and navigate to Workspace > Notifications.

Toggle which messages you'd like to receive from Airbyte. All email notifications will be sent by default to the creator of the workspace.

note

All email notifications except for Successful Syncs are enabled by default.

Modify the email recipient

To change the recipient, edit and save the notification email recipient. If you would like to send email notifications to more than one recipient, you can enter an email distribution list (ie Google Group) as the recipient.

Configure Webhook Notification Settings

Airbyte can send notifications to any generic webhook service. This is helpful when using a downstream service to trigger transformations or other tasks in your data stack.

Example Webhook Notification Payload

Open each section to see an example of the payload returned for the notification type.

info

Airbyte passes both the data payload along with text blocks that are intended for Slack usage.
