Notification rules define the conditions that trigger alerts in Validio.

You can view and manage existing rules under Notifications > Rules. The list displays the creation date, owner, and namespace for each rule. Using the ⋮ menu you for each rule, you can access options to Update or Delete the rule.

Configuration Options for Conditions

Adding conditions to a notification rule

Conditions provide flexible options for defining when notification rules trigger and which issues to send as notifications to your designated channel. Validio supports the following condition types:

Condition Type	Description	Configuration Options
Owner	Send notifications based on who owns a source. Owners can be assigned on the Sources and Source Details pages.	Select from a list of Owners
Segment	Send notifications based on one or more segmentation key-value pairs.	Field Value
Severity	Send notifications based on their severity. Only validator incidents have severity levels. For more information, see About Validator Incidents.	Low Medium High
Source	Send notifications only when incidents are generated by selected sources.	All sources Select from a list of specific Sources
Tag	Send notifications when incidents occur on sources or validators containing the selected pre-defined tags. You can only route notifications based on Label tags. For example, to notify on incidents from a specific validator on a source, you can tag that validator and then add a tag condition to the notification rule for that tag.	Label Custom
Type	Send notifications when the selected type of issue occurs.	Schema change Validator incident Source errors Source segment limit exceeded

Combining Condition Types

In Validio, the logic applied to notification rules depends on how conditions are structured.

Multiple Condition Types (AND logic)

Each notification rule can include multiple conditions using different condition types. When you define more than one condition type, AND logic is applied, requiring all conditions to be met before the notification triggers.

For example, if you have the following multiple segment conditions:

Segments: COUNTRY=SWEDEN

Segments: CITY=STOCKHOLM

The notification triggers when the incident matches the specific segment that contains both conditions, enabling multi-column segmentation matching.

Multiple Options within a Condition (OR logic)

For some condition types (such as tags and segments) you can specify multiple fields or select multiple options within a single condition. In this case, OR logic is applied and the condition is met when the incident matches at least one of the fields or options within the condition.

For example, if you have the following single segment condition with multiple key-value pairs:

Segments: COUNTRY=SWEDEN, CITY=STOCKHOLM

The key-value pairs within the condition are inclusive and will match either key-value segment.
