Notifications
Configure external alerts for DataDefender.
The Notifications page lets you configure the channels through which DataDefender sends security alerts. You can add multiple channels of different types so that alerts reach the right people through the right tools.

Summary Cards
When channels are configured, summary cards at the top show:
Total Channels
How many notification channels are configured
Active Channels

Channels with Errors
Channels that have recently failed to deliver
Disabled Channels
Channels that have been turned off
Adding a Channel
Click Add Channel (+ icon) in the top right to open the channel creation dialog.

Select the channel type. Currently we support SNS and Webhooks, but more options will be added soon.
Fill in the required configuration for that channel type:
Webhook: Enter the endpoint URL
SNS: enter the Provider Connection, SNS Topic ARN, and SNS Topic Region
Click Create to save the channel.

Each configured channel appears as a card showing:
