Notification management ​

Under Notifications you configure, as a workspace admin, who is informed automatically about scan events. The page is not an overview of received messages but a list of rules: each rule combines a channel (email or Slack) with an event type and a target. Rules can be created, edited, temporarily deactivated and deleted.

Structure of a rule ​

List of configured notification rules

  • Channel - either Email or Slack Webhook. The channel determines how the message is delivered.
  • Event - the triggering scan event: Scan completed, Scan failed or Findings detected.
  • Target - the recipient address or the webhook URL to which qualivise.ai sends the message.

Creating a rule ​

  • Add - the button in the top right opens the "New notification" form.
  • Channel and event - both are chosen from select fields; the event list contains the three types named above.
  • Enter the target - for email enter an address in the format team@example.com, for Slack an incoming webhook URL in the format https://hooks.slack.com/services/.... The hint below the field changes with the selected channel.
  • Multiple recipients - for email you can store several comma-separated addresses in one target; all of them receive the message.

Email and Slack compared ​

  • Email - the message is sent as a formatted email to the stored address and names workspace, project and scan profile where known.
  • Slack - qualivise.ai sends the subject and the message text to the stored webhook URL; the message appears in the channel the webhook was set up for in Slack.
  • Creating a webhook - the URL comes from your Slack configuration (incoming webhooks). The address is not validated when you save: a typo only surfaces once the event occurs and the message fails to arrive. So trigger a scan on purpose after setting the rule up and check the channel.

Editing, deactivating and deleting rules ​

  • Edit - clicking a list entry opens edit mode. Channel, event and target can be changed and applied with Save.
  • Active toggle - the switch on the right activates or deactivates a rule without deleting it. Deactivated entries appear dimmed and do not trigger any messages.
  • Delete - edit mode contains the Delete button; a confirmation prompt prevents accidental removal.

Scope of the rules ​

  • Workspace-wide - rules created on this page apply to all projects and scan profiles of the workspace.
  • Scoped rules - if a rule is tied to a project or a scan profile, the entry shows its name as a badge. This scoping originates in the respective scan profile and cannot be set here afterwards.
  • Archived projects - if a rule belongs to an archived project, it is marked Archived. qualivise.ai sends no notifications for archived projects and deactivated workspaces.

Distinction from other notifications ​

  • Per scan profile - in the scan profile itself you additionally define who is informed about the three events; only the email channel is available there, but with several recipients per event. Details under Scan profiles.
  • Bell icon - the messages behind the bell icon in the header are a separate system: they appear for all users inside the interface and are neither configured nor displayed here. Details under Notifications.

Notes ​

  • For critical events such as Scan failed, point the rule at a team mailbox or a Slack channel rather than at an individual person.
  • Use the active toggle instead of deleting when a rule should only pause temporarily, for example during a test phase.
  • Review stored addresses and webhooks after staff or channel changes so messages don't go nowhere.
  • Keep the number of rules manageable: workspace-wide rules apply to every scan and produce a lot of mail when you have many projects.
