# Alerts

> Get notifications when your agents fail

Alerts push Raindrop's findings to Slack so you hear about problems without watching the dashboard. There are three kinds: real-time **Signal Alerts** that fire when a behavior spikes, a **Daily Digest** that recaps yesterday, and **Agent Briefs** that run a scheduled investigation.

## How alerts work

All three are delivered to Slack and managed in one place, [Settings → Notifications](https://app.raindrop.ai/settings/alerts). Signal Alerts are reactive (they fire when a signal crosses a threshold), while the Daily Digest and Agent Briefs run on a schedule.

## Using alerts

### Alert on a signal

[Configure a custom alert](https://app.raindrop.ai/settings/alerts) for any signal, including tool errors. Choose a threshold of users or events affected, or alert on every match. Alerts can be snoozed or disabled per-signal.

### Get a daily digest

Turn on the Daily Digest for a Slack summary that recaps the agent's issues and wins from the day before. Compact mode posts one-liners with the details in-thread.

### Schedule an investigation

Schedule the [Triage Agent](/docs/platform/triage-agent) to run an investigation on a cadence and post the results back to Slack, for example "every Monday at 9am, summarize the biggest issues enterprise customers had last week". Create one from **Agent Briefs → New**, or by @mentioning Raindrop in Slack with a scheduling request.

See [Triage Agent → Agent Briefs](/docs/platform/triage-agent#schedule-investigations-with-agent-briefs) for the full configuration options (prompt, schedule, timezone, channel, run-now).
