In Daton, notifications play a crucial role in keeping you informed about important activities within your account. They are automatically-generated emails that provide updates and insights according to your preferences. By customizing your Notification Settings, you can ensure that you receive only the updates that matter most to you.

In Daton the notification settings are categorized into two main parts:

1. Preference: This allows you to receive personalized email notifications related to Integrations, Warehouses, Rows processed, Subscription, Monitoring, and User management.
2. Data Delay: By enabling this option for specific integrations, you receive real-time alerts in the Daton's Alerts interface and personalized emails regarding any data delays.

Data Delay

Data Delay notifications are integration-specific alerts. Activating Data Delay for an integration enables you to receive real-time email notifications and an overall view of all your errors across all integrations in the alerts panel. It's important to note that this feature applies only to the Active integrations in your Daton Account, meaning integrations that are not paused or deleted. 

Activating Data Delay Notifications:

Daton offers you the scope to turn on these notifications for each individual integration, by source type as well as by warehouse type. 

Activating Data Delay Notifications Individually

Steps to activate Data Delay Notifications individually:

1. On the Notification Settings page, click the Data Delay tab.
2. In the search bar, type the specific integration name or source ID for which you want to receive the alerts.
3. Select the desired integration, click on the Actions dropdown list, and select Activate.
4. You will receive a popup that says Status Changed Successfully and will observe the status updated as Enabled in the UI.

You will now receive real-time email notifications corresponding to this integration and the same will be reflected in the Alerts panel.

Activating Data Delay Notifications in Bulk

The bulk activation process in Data Delay eliminates the need for manual activation by selecting multiple integrations and provides enhanced customization options. Data Delay Notifications can be conveniently activated in bulk through two methods:

1. Selecting multiple integrations manually
2. Selecting multiple integrations using filter

Rather than manually activating notifications for each integration individually, the bulk activation option allows you to select multiple integrations at once, saving time and effort. Additionally, the ability to filter by Source Type and Warehouse Type further enhances the process by enabling you to target specific integrations for notification activation and makes sure that no integration is missed. 

By Selecting Multiple Integrations Manually

Steps to activate Data Delay Notifications By Selecting Multiple Integrations Manually:

1. On the Notification Settings page, click the Data Delay tab.
2. Select all the integrations you desire to activate Alert notifications for, open the Actions dropdown, and hit Activate.
   • You can also select all the active integrations if desired.
3. You will receive a popup that says Status Changed Successfully and will observe the status updated as Enabled in the UI.

You will now receive real-time email notifications corresponding to these integrations and the same will be reflected in the Alerts panel.

By Selecting Multiple Integrations Using Filter

The integration selection in Data Delay settings has an interesting feature that allows you to target specific integrations while activating them. To perform this you may require the integration name, source or warehouse type, or combination of any two or more of them.

Filtering by Source Type

This action is performed when you need Alert notifications for all the active integrations of a particular Source Type.

• This can be performed by typing the desired Source Type in the search box at the top of the Data Delay Tab on the Notification Settings page.

Filtering by Warehouse Type

This action is performed when you need Alert notifications for all the active integrations of a particular Warehouse Type.

• This can be performed by typing the desired Warehouse Type in the search box at the top of the Data Delay Tab on the Notification Settings page.

Filtering by Source and Warehouse Type

This action is performed when you desire Alert notifications of a specific Source Type that replicates data to another specific Warehouse Type.

• Provide the desired Source Type and Warehouse Type separated by one or multiple space(s) in the search box at the top of the Data Delay Tab on the Notification Settings page.

Filtering by Source Name as well as Source and Warehouse Type

Similar to the above if you have a range of Integration Names that have similar prefixes and desire to receive the Alert notifications, we can club them with the Source and Warehouse Type filter. 

• Type out the the initials of desired Integration Name, Source Type, and Warehouse Type separated by one or multiple space(s) in the search box at the top of the Data Delay Tab on the Notification Settings page.

Once you have filtered out the required integrations follow the following steps:

• Open the Actions dropdown and select Activate. 
• You will receive a popup that says Status Changed Successfully and will observe the status updated as Enabled in the UI.

You will now receive real-time email notifications corresponding to these integrations and the same will be reflected in the Alerts panel.
