Notifications
Stay informed when mission reports are ready — manage email and Slack notifications, configure org-wide Slack channels, and view your notification history
Alloy can notify you by email when important events happen — like when a mission report finishes generating. You control which notifications you receive, and you can manage your preferences at any time.
Notification bell
The bell icon in the sidebar shows your most recent notifications. Click it to open a dropdown with up to 20 recent items.
Each notification shows:
- The mission name (or names, if multiple reports were batched together)
- A brief label (e.g. "Mission report")
- A relative timestamp (e.g. "5m ago", "2h ago")
Click a notification to expand it and see more detail.
The notification bell shows notifications for your entire organization — all team members see the same history.
Managing your preferences
Notification preferences are per-user — each person in your organization controls their own settings.
How to access
Available notification types
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Mission report ready | Get an email when a new mission report is generated after data upload and processing |
Use the toggle next to each event type to enable or disable email notifications. Changes take effect immediately.
New users are automatically opted in to mission report notifications. You can opt out at any time from the Notifications tab.
Slack notifications
If your organization has the Slack integration connected, Alloy can post notifications directly into a Slack channel. Unlike email preferences, Slack notifications are org-wide — everyone in the channel sees the same alerts.
Available Slack notification types
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| New mission uploaded | A new mission is uploaded to the platform — whether via the app or from an S3/GCS bucket you've integrated with Alloy |
| Early access ready | Mission data is available for querying (before the full report) |
| Mission report ready | A mission report finishes processing and is ready to review |
| Scenario match found | One of your scenarios detects a pattern match on a mission |
| Scheduled report ready | One of your scheduled prompts finishes generating a report |
How to configure
Unlike email notifications, Slack notifications can only be set up from within Slack — there's no way to configure them from the Notifications tab in the app. To set one up, go to the Slack channel where you want to receive the alerts and ping @Alloy with what you want. For example:
- "@Alloy notify this channel when mission reports are ready"
- "@Alloy DM me when a scenario match is found"
- "@Alloy post here when a new mission is uploaded"
Once configured, the notification will appear in the Notifications tab with a toggle so anyone in your org can pause or resume it. Unconfigured types show as Not configured until you ask @Alloy to set them up.
