Notifications

Notifications tell you when a Monitor detects a change or fails to run. (Uptime has its own separate alert emails — see Uptime — not covered by anything here.)

The notification bell

Click the bell icon in the dashboard header to see recent activity across every project you have access to — not just the one you're currently viewing. Unread items are highlighted; clicking one marks it read and takes you to the relevant comparison (or the monitor list, if it's a run-failure notification with no specific comparison to show).

Email notifications

Each monitor has its own notification preferences (see Monitors):

• Email on change — a detected visual/status/redirect change.
• Email on failure — the monitor couldn't complete a run.
• Frequency — Immediate (one email per event), Daily digest, or Weekly digest (Sundays).

Digests bundle up everything that happened in the period into one email instead of one per event — useful for a monitor that changes often and doesn't need instant attention.

Escalation

If a monitor fails three runs in a row, you get an extra "repeated failures" email on top of the normal failure notification — a signal that this isn't a one-off blip. Escalated-failure notifications are not cleared by "Mark all read" — you need to open and dismiss each one individually, so it doesn't quietly disappear in a bulk clear.
