A notification is a message delivered to a person or system about an alert or monitored condition.
- How it is used
- Uses notifications to deliver actionable operational alerts after monitoring conditions satisfy defined rules.
- How deep it goes
- Explains notification flow, routing, grouping, suppression, and example configuration without detailing receiver implementation internals.
- Examples
- Uses a high-API-call alert, environment grouping, webhook delivery, and email, Slack, or text-message routing examples.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure Prometheus and Alertmanager to evaluate conditions, reduce alert noise, and route notifications to receivers.

An event notification is a message indicating that a specified event, such as the arrival of a new file, has occurred.
- How it is used
- Signals Snowpipe that new files arrived in cloud storage so continuous ingestion can begin.
- How deep it goes
- Defines queued metadata and supported cloud services, but stops short of provider-specific configuration details.
- Examples
- Uses Amazon S3 SQS, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, and Azure Event Grid messages for newly arriving files.
- What you can do after
- Operate continuous ingestion by connecting cloud-storage events to Snowpipe and distinguishing metadata from file contents.
