Set an alert threshold for email validation health
Make a recurring validation check easier to notice when its results fall outside your chosen threshold.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create monitor
Creates a monitor to track data and trigger alerts.
Why this helps
A validation flow can quietly degrade between manual checks, leaving teams to discover the problem later.
- Create a Datadog monitor tied to a defined validation reliability goal.
- Run checks on a recurring schedule without remembering each one.
- Use a threshold your team supplies instead of assuming a baseline.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the validation flow.
- 3Tell Notis to run the agreed email validation check with Abstract and create a Datadog monitor using the threshold and notification details you provide.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the monitor configuration.
Questions about this workflow
What threshold should I use?
Supply a threshold that reflects your team's reliability target. The workflow cannot infer a suitable baseline from the app descriptions.
Does the schedule provide test emails?
No. Provide a test email or another valid check input in the automation instruction or available run context.
Will this workflow send an alert immediately?
It creates a monitor configured from the details you provide. Datadog alert behavior depends on that monitor configuration and subsequent data.
