Create, edit, and remove notifications

This page explains how to create and manage notifications for your organization.

Create a notification

To create a notification:

1. Sign in to the DoiT console, select the gear icon () from the top navigation bar, and then select Notifications.

2. Select Create new notification.

   There are three steps to create a new notification.

   

3. Select the notification provider.

   1. Enter a name for the new notification.

   2. Choose how you want to get the notification, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Email:

      • Slack: To receive Slack notifications, you need to install the DoiT app for Slack.

      • Microsoft Teams: To receive notifications in Microsoft Teams, you need to add the DoiT app for Microsoft Teams to the team you want to send notifications.

   3. Select Next.

4. Select channels. This setting varies with the notification provider.

   • Slack: You can choose shared, public, or private Slack channels in your workspace.

   • Microsoft Teams: Choose channels of the team that has been connected in the previous step. To add additional channels to the connected team or connect a new team, see DoiT app for Microsoft Teams.

   • Email: You can add multiple email addresses.

5. Specify the notification types you want to receive.

6. Save the configurations to create the new notification.

To receive a notification in different providers, create one notification per provider.

Send notifications to private Slack channels

To send notifications to a private channel, you must be a member of that channel.

Run the following command inside the channel to allow it to receive notifications:

/invite @DoiTInternational

If you can't find the private channel after running the command, refresh the page in the DoiT console.

Once you've added a private Slack channel, anyone in your organization with the Manage settings permission can use it to set up notifications for shared Slack channels.
