7.2 Notifications Settings

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Notification settings define how Orbnetes sends operational events to users.

Typical responsibilities:

  • Enable/disable notification subsystem.
  • Select provider type (SMTP/API transport if supported).
  • Define sender identity (from email/name).
  • Store required credentials for delivery backend.

Event sources usually include:

  • release lifecycle changes,
  • approval requests and approval state changes,
  • pipeline/run completion states (success/fail/cancel),
  • comments or governance-related actions.

Signal quality strategy:

  • Start with high-value events (failure, approval required, canceled).
  • Add additional events only when teams prove they are actionable.
  • Avoid notification fatigue by tuning project-level overrides.

Validation checklist after config change:

  • test email delivery from platform,
  • verify sender identity appears correctly,
  • verify event templates include direct links to relevant pages.
