Instant notifications are a great way to keep track of your backup status. You can set up instant notifications to receive a message in one of the following messaging apps: Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams. You can get notifications about both failed and successful backups, and for both automated and manual backups. Notifications are sent instantly after the backup is completed.
Instant messenger notifications are set up for each account individually. To configure instant notifications, follow these steps:
Open the Notification Settings page from the left sidebar.
Choose the account you want to configure notifications for.
In the Instant Messenger Notifications section:
Select the notification type you want to configure. Notifications are disabled by default, so you need to choose the type of notification you want to receive: On backup completion or On backup failure only. On backup completion will send a notification for both successful and failed backups, while On backup failure only will only send a notification if the backup fails.
Enter the Webhook URL for the messenger.
Click Test button to check if the webhook is working correctly. You should receive a test message in the messenger you've chosen.
Click Save to save the changes.
Repeat the steps for each account you want to configure instant notifications for.
