Automatic debug notifications

When critical issues are detected in your application, you'll receive instant notifications through your configured channels. This helps you respond quickly to problems before they impact your users.

How debug notifications work

The platform continuously monitors your application's health through the debug system. When a critical issue is detected:

  1. Issue detection: The debug system identifies critical problems like build failures, application crashes, or health check failures
  2. Snapshot capture: A debug snapshot is automatically created with details about the issues
  3. Notification sent: Instant notifications are sent to all your configured error notification channels
  4. Action required: You can review the issue details and take action immediately

What triggers notifications

Notifications are sent automatically when critical issues are detected:

  • Application crashes: Running instances stop unexpectedly or repeatedly restart
  • Critical errors: Severe errors that prevent your application from functioning
  • Health check failures: Your application isn't responding to health checks

Notifications are only sent when critical issues are detected (issues that prevent your application from functioning).

Setting up debug notifications

Configure notification channels

Before you can receive debug notifications, you need to set up at least one notification channel for your team:

  1. Navigate to your team settings
  2. Click on "Notifications" in the sidebar
  3. Add one or more notification channels
  4. Enable the channels you want to use

Attach notifications to your application

Once you have notification channels configured, attach them to your application:

  1. Go to your application page
  2. Click on the "Notifications" tab
  3. Click "Attach notification channel"
  4. Select a notification channel from your team's available channels
  5. Choose "Error" as the notification type
  6. Click "Attach channel"

You will now recieve notifications of new critical issues of your application!
