Configure notifications
Choose how, when, and where to send your alert notifications.
As a first step, define your contact points; where to send your alert notifications to. A contact point is a set of one or more integrations that are used to deliver notifications.
Next, create a notification policy which is a set of rules for where, when and how your alerts are routed to contact points. In a notification policy, you define where to send your alert notifications by choosing one of the contact points you created.
Optionally, you can add notification templates to contact points for reuse and consistent messaging in your notifications.
