# Test Alerts

> Get notified when tests fail

Set up alerts to be notified when your tests fail, so you can respond quickly to issues.

## Setting Up Alerts

1. Go to the [**Tests**](https://app.getdecipher.com/tests) page and navigate to **Alerts**
2. 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
3. Configure Slack delivery by connecting a channel inline
4. 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:

1. Click **Connect Slack** on the alert you're configuring
2. Select the Slack channel for notifications
3. For private channels, use `/invite @Decipher Alerts`

<Tip>
  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.
