Pipeline runs can fail for many reasons. Alerts help you react quickly by sending email notifications when runs fail. Nekt supports two types of alerts:
  • Global alerts: workspace-level email recipients that receive notifications for any failed pipeline.
  • Per-resource alerts: user-level alerts that apply to specific sources, queries, notebooks, histories, or destinations.
Global alerts are available only on Paid plans.

​
Global alerts (workspace-level)

Owners and admins can configure global alerts in Settings → Alerts.
  • Add one or more email addresses to receive notifications when any pipeline fails.
  • These emails don’t need to enable alerts on each pipeline individually.
  • Use this to notify central mailboxes (e.g. data@company.com) or on-call teams.
Global alerts are applied in addition to any per-resource alerts users configure for themselves.

​
Per-resource alerts (user-level)

Any user can enable alerts for specific resources they care about:
  • Open the details page of a source, query, notebook, history, or destination.
  • Toggle the Alerts switch in the upper-right corner.
These alerts are:
  • Per user: each user enables alerts for their own pipelines.
  • Per resource: you choose exactly which pipelines you want to follow.
  • Sent to the email address you use to log into Nekt.
You cannot enable per-resource alerts on behalf of other users in your workspace.

​
Bulk-manage alerts from lists

On the list pages for Sources, Destinations, Queries, Notebooks, and Histories, you can enable or disable alerts for multiple pipelines at once:
  1. Go to the relevant list (e.g. Sources, Queries).
  2. Select the pipelines you want to update.
  3. Use the bulk actions menu to enable or disable alerts for all selected items.
This is useful when you onboard a new project, change alerting strategy, or need to pause alerts for a set of pipelines temporarily. For more on investigating failures and reading run logs, see Runs – Logs.
