Notifications for an application

Automated Notifications can be configured for events (e.g. code deployments) that occur on an application’s environments.

Manage Notifications for an application’s environments in the VIP Dashboard for that application. Notifications for an application can be configured per-environment type (production vs. non-production), or for a single specific environment of that application.

Access

1. Navigate to the VIP Dashboard for an application.
2. Select an environment from the environment dropdown located at the upper left of the VIP Dashboard.
3. Select “Access & Routing” from the sidebar navigation at the left of the screen.
4. Select “Notifications” from the navigation submenu.

Add a Notification

Add a Notification for one or more environments of an application.

2. Select the environment(s) for which the Notification will be enabled. Configure one of the available environment options:
   • Either Choose an environment type: Enable the radio button for either the production environment for all of an organization’s applications, or the non-production environment(s) for all of an organization’s applications.
   • Or Choose a specific environment: Select a specific environment of a single application by environment name (e.g., Preprod, Develop, QA1).
3. Choose Notification Type: Configure the type of environment event to be communicated in the Notification.
   • Deployments: Send a notification for the status of a deployment. Select the checkbox labeled “Deployments” located in the upper right of the “Deployments” configuration box.
