StagingPro can push deployment and migration alerts to three channels: email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Set at least one up before running migrations so you have visibility into what just happened. Set up multiple channels for redundancy on critical environments. This page covers the setup for each.

​
Where to configure

Open Settings and click the Status Notifications sub-tab. Status Notifications tab Two notification categories are togglable independently:
  • Deployment Notifications, alerts on theme deployments (start, complete, fail, rollback).
  • Data Migration Notifications, alerts on bulk and selective migrations.
Tick whichever combination matches the events your team needs to see.

​
Email notifications

Email is the simplest path. No webhook configuration needed.
  1. Open Settings, Status Notifications.
  2. Enter an email address in the Email Notification field.
  3. Click the + button to add it. The address appears as a chip; you can add multiple addresses by repeating.

  2. Click Send Test Email & Save to verify routing and persist the configuration.
Send Test Email and Save button To remove an address, click the X on its chip. To re-test, use the same Send Test Email & Save button.

​
Step 4, connect to StagingPro

Important to remember

  • After any change to the email checkboxes or addresses, click Send Test Email & Save to persist the change. The button doubles as save.
  • Same for Teams Settings: changes need Send Test Message & Save.
  • Same for Slack Settings: changes need Send Test Message & Save.
  • Notifications are not user-specific. If you have set up an email or webhook channel, every event of the enabled types fires to that destination. Filter at the Slack or Teams side if needed.
