Error monitoring provides the ability to deliver real-time notifications to Slack and MS Teams channels using custom notification rules that you configure and control. This ensures that critical issues, important to you, are detected and can be addressed quickly.

You first need to add your Slack or MS Teams channel(s) before notification rules can be created. See our user guide on how to configure connections to a Slack or MS Teams channel.

Adding notification rules

Once a channel(s) has been configured you can begin to create notification rules.

  • Click View errors for a particular Flow or Apex error that you want to inspect further.

  • In the right panel, click on Add notification rule.

  • Add a friendly name for your notification alert.

  • Gearset will automatically pre-populate some basic information if you wish to use it to help configure your rule. You can delete these if you wish to create a time based notification only.

  • Configure your rules based on email body contents only, a volume/frequency based rule, or a combination of email content and frequency.

  • Click Save notification rule.

When the notification rule settings are met, Gearset will send a notification to the channel that you've configured. For Flows this includes the Flow name, Flow element and problem type. You can see more details of the error in Gearset by clicking the View in Gearset link.
