Set up alerts to be notified when your tests fail, so you can respond quickly to issues.
Setting Up Alerts
- Go to the Tests page and navigate to Alerts
- Under Team Alerts, click one of the two alert types:
- Failure Alert — notifies your team when tests fail
- Tests Digest — sends a periodic summary of test results
- Configure Slack delivery by connecting a channel inline
- Choose a frequency (see below)
You can also set up personal alerts under the My Test Alerts section, which notify only you.
Alert Types
Failure Alert
Triggers when a test fails. Choose how often you want to be notified:
- Every instance — alert on every failure as it happens
- Daily — receive a daily summary of failures
- Weekly — receive a weekly summary of failures
Tests Digest
A periodic summary of your test results across all suites. Available frequencies:
- Daily — a daily digest of test results
- Weekly — a weekly digest of test results
Slack Integration
Test alerts are delivered via Slack. Connect a channel directly from the Alerts page:
- Click Connect Slack on the alert you’re configuring
- Select the Slack channel for notifications
- For private channels, use
/invite @Decipher Alerts
Set up a Failure Alert with “every instance” frequency for your critical test suites. This ensures you’re notified immediately when important user flows break.
