Best Practices

Team Organization

✅ Do:

• Include team members’ names in important alerts
• Document what each alert does

❌ Don’t:

• Create duplicate alerts
• Leave old unused alerts active
• Share passwords/secrets in alert names

Communication

✅ Do:

• Notify team when creating important alerts
• Document template variables
• Share webhook URLs securely
• Communicate outages/issues

❌ Don’t:

• Send webhook URLs over insecure channels
• Share production secrets
• Change active alerts without notifying team

Permissions

✅ Do:

• Only invite who needs access
• Remove team members when they leave
• Use appropriate roles
• Audit team regularly

❌ Don’t:

• Share team access widely
• Leave old members with access
• Give unnecessary permissions
