Introduction to alerts

The DQC Platform allows you to stay informed about data quality issues in real time. With alerts, you can automatically notify the right people the moment a new issue is detected—helping you respond quickly and maintain trust in your data.

What are alerts?

Alerts trigger real-time notifications whenever data quality issues occur. They are especially useful for:

• Monitoring business-critical datasets

• Staying proactive when new data arrives

• Preventing downstream errors in dashboards, processes, or reports

Choose how alerts are sent

You can tailor alerts to your team’s preferred communication channel:

• MS Teams – Send alerts to individuals or dedicated Teams channels

• Email – Notify one or more recipients via email

This flexibility ensures alerts integrate seamlessly into your workflow.

Notes

• Alerts only trigger if issues are detected in active rules

• Combine alerts with table checks for continuous monitoring
