Wevo iPaaS notifications: Channels and groups

Before you turn on notifications, first you need to define a few important configurations to ensure they will work correctly. One such configuration is which channel will be used in communication. This page shows how to do that.

After you finish this step, see Notifications: configure events and learn how to turn on notifications.

To access the notifications, click Notify in the lateral menu to the left.

    Use the menu to select which channel will send the notification, either Email or Slack (those are the only options currently available). The next configurations will differ slightly depending on which option you select here.

    • Email: After you select Email as the means to send the notification, make sure the Status toggle is switched to Active. Next, in the Name field, enter a name you want to use to refer to the channel. In the E-mail field, enter the email address that will receive the notification. If you want this channel to belong to a group, select it in the Group field. Finally, click Save to finish.

Next, in the Name field, enter a name you want to use to refer to the channel. In the Web Hook field, enter the webhook that you've previously configured to send messages into Slack.

Configure a group

Although this isn't required, you have the ability to create a group to receive certain notifications. This is advantageous in case you've configured different communication channels for different users. By grouping them, you no longer need to create a notification process for each one.

To configure a notification group:

  1. In the lateral menu, go to Notify > Channel Group:

  2. Click Add Group on the top right.
