Set up Notifications

Get notified about data product events directly in your team chat by configuring notification channels in Entropy Data.

Overview

Notification channels allow your team to receive real-time alerts about important events in Entropy Data.

Step 1: Get Your Endpoint URL

Choose your chat platform and follow the setup guide:

Step 2: Add a Notification Channel

In Entropy Data:

Go to your team page (or domain page, domains have their own notification channels)
Click "Add Notification Channel" in the right sidebar
Select your chat platform (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat)
Enter a name for the channel (e.g., "#slack-channel-name")
Enter the endpoint URL from your chat platform (e.g., slack webhook URL, Teams webhook URL, or Google Chat webhook URL)
- For Slack, it should look like: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- For Microsoft Teams (Power Automate), it should look like: https://default000000.e8.environment.api.powerplatform.com:443/powerautomate/automations/direct/workflows/ccccc.../triggers/manual/paths/invoke/?api-version=1&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=666666....
- For Microsoft Teams (Office 365 Connector), it should look like: https://outlook.office.com/webhook/...
- For Google Chat, it should look like: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAA.../messages?key=...&token=...
Click "Test Connection" to send a sample notification
Save the notification channel

A notification channel receives all supported notification types. The Notification Types section on the channel page lists them, grouped by Access Requests, Change Requests, Data Contract Tests, Data Products, and Integrations, so you can see what the channel will post. The list is informational and cannot be narrowed down. See Notifications for the individual events.

Managing Notifications

Team-specific: Each team and domain can configure their own notification channels
Edit or remove: Modify or delete notification channels from team anytime

Delivery History

The channel page shows a Delivery History with every delivery attempt of the last 7 days: the timestamp, the status code returned by the chat platform, whether the delivery succeeded, and the error message if it failed. Start here when notifications stop arriving, because it tells you whether Entropy Data sent the message and what the chat platform answered.

Troubleshooting

Test notification not appearing?

Check the Delivery History on the channel page for the status code and error message of the attempt
Verify the endpoint URL is correct
Check that the chat channel/space still exists
Ensure webhooks are enabled in your chat platform
Confirm you have permission to receive messages in the target channel
