Configuring Notifications for Alerts

Send API Manager alerts from Anypoint Platform directly to Slack channels, Microsoft Teams channels, and email. Configure alerts in the enhanced experience so teams can see notifications where they work and jump directly into Portfolio or Observability to respond.

    • Severity level (critical, warning, informational)

    • Delivery channel (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email)

How Alerts Appear in Slack and Microsoft Teams

When an alert triggers, your team receives a notification directly in the configured Slack or Microsoft Teams channel or DM:

  • Alerts display key information about the condition that triggered them

  • Teams can see and respond to alerts where they already collaborate

  • Alerts include context to help with triage and decision-making

  • No need to check email inboxes or switch to the platform console

Alert Severity and Routing

Map alerts to appropriate channels based on severity to reduce noise:

  • Critical alerts: Route to high-priority channels monitored by on-call teams

  • Warning alerts: Send to team channels for awareness and investigation

  • Informational alerts: Deliver to lower-traffic channels or aggregated reporting channels

This routing strategy ensures teams see the most important signals first without alert fatigue.
