Intro

You can configure how to receive notifications and alerts for certain Domo events by configuring your notifications and alerts in your user settings. There are two different alert types available:
  • Triggered alerts on visualization cards and DataSets. You can configure alerts to send instantly or in daily or weekly summary emails with a list of all triggered alerts in the specified time frame. Learn more about setting up Alerts.
  • Non-alert events include someone sharing a card or dashboard or assigning a task to you. Messages sent to you from non-alert events are notifications and are sent to you immediately. You can configure these to be sent via email, SMS, Domo Mobile, or a pop-up message on your device. Learn more about Receiving and Viewing Notifications.
