Notification routing

Data quality notification routing enables you to send alerts to specific Slack or Microsoft Teams channels based on asset scope, ensuring the right teams receive relevant notifications about data quality issues.

How routing works

When a data quality rule fails, the system determines where to send the alert using a priority-based approach:

  1. Check for scoped configurations: The system first looks for routing rules that match the asset's database or domain

    • If a match is found, alerts are sent to the configured channels. For example, if a rule on a table in Database A fails, and Database A is configured to send alerts to #dq-core and #trust channels, the alert is delivered to both channels
  2. Fall back to default channel: If no scoped configuration matches the asset, alerts are sent to the default organization-level channel. For example, if a rule fails on an asset not covered by any Database/Domain configuration, the alert is delivered to the default channel you configured

  3. Unified default setting: The same default channel setting is available from both Admin → Notifications and Admin → Integrations → Data Quality
