# 4. Notification Settings

After configuring the [Trigger Type](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/bolt/creating-schedules/trigger-types) for a Bolt Schedule, you can set up notifications to monitor its execution. While optional, notifications help you track job statuses and respond to issues promptly.

***

## Notification Triggers

You can choose from three triggers to keep updated on schedule activity:

* **Success**: Alerts you when a Bolt Schedule completes successfully. Useful for confirming jobs are running as expected, tracking deployments, or monitoring scheduled runs.
* **Failure**: Notifies you of job failures, keeping you informed of pipeline issues, triggering incident responses, or monitoring data quality.
* **SLA (Service Level Agreement)**: Sends a notification if a job exceeds a specified runtime threshold (e.g., 30 minutes), which helps track performance issues, monitor long-running jobs, and ensure timely data processing.

## Notification Destinations

Paradime offers three notification options, allowing you to choose destinations based on your team’s communication preferences: [Email](#email-notifications), [Slack](#slack-notifications), and [Microsoft Teams](#microsoft-teams-notifications).

{% hint style="warning" %}
To enable notifications for Slack or Microsoft Teams, see our set up guides:

* [Slack](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/integrations/notifications/slack)
* [Microsoft Teams](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/integrations/notifications/microsoft-teams)
  {% endhint %}

***

### Configuration

To set up notifications, follow these steps:

1. **Navigate to the Bolt UI** and select the schedule you wish to edit.
2. **Click “Edit”** in the top right.
3. In **Notification Settings**, click **Add destination**.
4. Configure notifications for **Email, Slack,** or **Microsoft Teams**.
5. Update the **SLA Threshold** value if needed.
6. **Toggle notifications** “On” or “Off” as desired.
7. **Click “Deploy”** to save changes.

## Notification Templates

You can fully customize the content and structure of Slack and MS Teams alerts using Notification Templates. Templates are created in **Bolt > Alert Templates** and attached to a channel destination per schedule.

For full details on creating and using templates, see Alert Templates.

## Bolt System Alerts Notifications

{% hint style="info" %}
Bolt System Alerts are notifications that keep you informed about system-level issues in relation to Bolt Pipelines.&#x20;

These configuration are set at a workspace level instead of at a Bolt Scheduler level. These includes:

* Bolt Parse Errors
* OOM (Out of Memory) Runs
* Git Clone Failures
* 24-hour Run Timeouts

To learn more about these additional notifications and how to configure it in your workspace,  check our [**Notifications settings guide**](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/settings/notifications).
