IMPORTANTYou can enable alerts for your dataflows during the Configure new destination step of the destination connection workflow.

The alerts available to destination dataflows are described in the table below.
- For streaming destinations, only the Activation Skipped Rate Exceeded alert is available.
- For file-based destinations, all alerts are available.

Receiving alerts
Once your destination dataflow runs, you can receive alerts through the UI or by email.
Receiving alerts in the UI
Alerts are represented in the UI by a notification icon in the top header of the Platform UI. Select the notification icon to see specific alert messages regarding your dataflows.
The notifications panel appears, displaying a list of status updates on the dataflow that you created.
You can hover on an alert message to mark them as read or you can select the clock icon to set future reminders on the status of your dataflow.
Select the alert message to see specific information on your dataflow.
The Dataflow run details page appears. The upper half of the screen displays an overview on your dataflow, including information on its attributes, corresponding dataflow run ID, and high-level error summary.
The lower half of the page displays any Dataflow run errors that ocurred during the dataflow run stage. From here, you can preview error diagnostics or use the Data Access API to download error diagnostics or the file manifest that corresponds to your dataflow.
For more information on handling dataflow errors, see the guide on monitoring destinations dataflows in the UI.
Receiving alerts by email
Alerts for your dataflows are also delivered to you by email. Select the dataflow name in the email body to see more information on your dataflow.
Similar to the UI alert, the Dataflow run overview page appears, providing you with an interface to investigate any errors associated with your dataflow.
