## Enabling Data Quality Alerts

Trust in data starts with visibility. It’s not just about finding problems—it’s about making sure the right people know about them when they happen. With Atlan’s Data Quality Studio, you can set up alerts that push directly to Slack or Teams, helping data consumers stay informed without extra effort. That kind of proactive communication builds confidence in your data and makes it easier for teams to rely on it day to day.

Clicking on admin icon on the left hand navigation and integrations takes us to the integrations section, showing all the 3rd party integrations that we can set up in Atlan. We have slack set up, so we click on it to expand the options, which we could also do with Microsoft Teams in the same way. Here, we see the different options for pushing notifications based on actions occurring within Atlan. At the bottom, the choice for data quality is available. Here, we can specify a specific channel to push data quality failures to, proactively alerting data consumers of any issues identified. However, as pushing too many notifications can end up seeming more like noise than trust signals, there are additional configuration options to allow us to ensure that we are sending the signals that our consumers need at the right cadence and to the proper channels.

The first is through the notification configuration. Clicking on this opens the notifications page, which can also be accessed by clicking on notifications on the left-hand side. Here, we can configure our alerts for data quality to be directed to specific channels based on the database or domain in which they occur. 
Clicking on add configuration brings the configuration popup. Here, if we had a specific channel for Snowflake issues or maybe data around our finance domain, we can utilize the asset scope filter to select either database or domain to filter on, and then specify the channel that we want to push those alerts to when they occur, reducing the noise and ensuring that the alerts are going to the relevant data consumers.

We also can set up notification settings at the data quality rule level. Going to an asset that has data quality rules and editing the rule, we see the advanced settings option. Expanding this shows the alert priority options. Clicking on the drop down shows us the different options. Urgent will send a notification everytime the rule is evaluated and a failure is thrown. Normal will send alerts for 3 consecutive failures but will stop sending alerts until the issue is resolved. Low will not send any alerts to either Slack or Teams.

With these customization options, it’s easy to make sure the right people are looped in when data quality issues come up. Instead of chasing problems, your team gets the context they need right away—helping build trust in the data without adding extra manual steps.
