Notifiers

Pipelines may need to send notification messages or requests for input. You may want to route these notifications to multiple users, groups, or channels, perhaps via more than one delivery mechanism. For instance, you may want to request approval via Slack and email. Mods can send these messages to a notifier, which provides a way for the mod to send the message in a standard way without needing to be aware of the details of the particular delivery channels or destinations.

The notifier allows you to define a list of integrations to send notifications to. Each notifier contains a list of integrations and related settings used to send and receive data to one or more integrations.

You can manage your workspace's notifiers from the Notifiers tab on your workspace.

Default Notifier

Many mods use the default notifier by default, but allow you to override it via a variable or param.

Pipes includes a built-in notifier named workspace_admins that is configured to send email to the Workspace Owners. This notifier is configured as the default notifier so that it works out of the box, and no configuration is necessary.

If you would prefer to use a different default notifier in your workspace, you can do so; Pipes allows you to mark any notifier as the default for your workspace. Navigate to the Settings page for the notifier that you would like to use. From the Workspace precedence section, click Set Default.

Creating a Notifier

You can create notifiers at the tenant, organization, developer account, or workspace. Notifiers that are created in a tenant, organization, or developer account are available in all child workspaces.

To create a notifier, navigate to the Notifiers for the tenant, organization, developer account, or workspace where you wish to create it, and click New Notifier

Enter a unique name for your notifier and click Next.

Choose the type of target you want to create.

Enter the details for the target, then click Create to create the notifier.

Modifying a Notifier

Find the notifier from the list on the Notifiers tab and click its title or gear icon. From the Settings sub-tab, you can edit the notifier's name or set it as the default for your workspace.

You can add or remove notification targets from the Targets sub-tab.

Deleting a Notifier

You can delete a notifier from its Settings page. Find the notifier from the list on the Notifiers tab and click its title or gear icon. From the Settings sub-tab, click Delete Notifier. You will be prompted to confirm by entering the handle and clicking Delete.
