Notification Integrations
Connect and manage the third-party channels DAM Alerting delivers notifications to — Slack, Webhook, Splunk, PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and ServiceNow. Configuring a connection is separate from rule configuration; see DAM Alerting’s Delivery Channels section for how a rule selects and uses a channel.
In this section

Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Managing notification integrations requires Administrator or Super Administrator access to your ALTR account.
The Integrations Grid
Section titled “The Integrations Grid”Notification integrations are configured and managed from Settings > Integrations. The page presents a grid of provider cards: Slack, Webhook, Splunk, PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams, and ServiceNow. Each card shows the total number of configured connections for that provider, displaying Not configured when there are none and a Connected badge when at least one connection exists.
Manage a Provider’s Connections
Section titled “Manage a Provider’s Connections”Selecting a provider card opens a list of that provider’s configured connections.
To manage a connection:
- Select Settings > Integrations in the navigation menu.
- Click a provider’s card.
- Toggle a connection’s row between Active and Inactive to enable or disable it.
- Click Test on a connection’s row to send a test delivery.
- Click a connection’s row to open its edit drawer, or use the row’s delete action to remove it.
Deletion is blocked while a connection is in use by one or more alert rules.
The Edit Drawer
Section titled “The Edit Drawer”The edit drawer pre-populates non-secret fields; secret fields such as tokens and webhook URLs appear blank and must be re-entered to change them. Saving an edit uses partial-update semantics: only the fields you submit are written, and omitting a field leaves its stored value unchanged.
When a connection’s deliveries are failing, the edit drawer shows a Delivery is failing warning. The drawer also offers a Send Test action, disabled while there are unsaved edits, that fires against the saved connection configuration rather than your in-progress changes.
Reliability and Security
Section titled “Reliability and Security”- Delivery suppression. After ten consecutive delivery failures attributable to your configuration, ALTR suppresses the affected integration and retries with exponential backoff, from five minutes up to 24 hours, re-testing once the backoff window elapses.
- Webhook protection. Custom webhook destinations are validated against internal and metadata-service address ranges, both when saved and again at send time, to block requests to internal infrastructure.
- Write-only secrets. Channel credentials — tokens, keys, webhook URLs — are stored encrypted and can be set but never read back over the API.
