# Configuring Notifications
Telmai notifications are used to notify users about new or ongoing alerts. Telmai supports different notification channel types.
## Supported Notification Types
* Microsoft Teams
* Slack
* Webhooks
* Emails
## Notification Modes
Notifications can be set at tenant level based on 3 modes:
* **Priority summary:** In this setting, detections are summarized by count and priority before being sent to the specified channel(s). The notification interval acts as a grace period, during which all alerts are grouped into a single notification.
* **Monitors overview:** In this setting, detections from configured monitors are consolidated into one notification. Only the most significant detections are included.
* **Monitors insights**: In this setting, each detection triggers an individual notification. If applicable, historical charts are included in the notification.
To select the notification mode, tenant admins can select it from the "Administration" page
## Add or Modify Notification Channels
Alert Channels — manage email and Slack notification destinations.
Notification channels are the destinations that can be used for alerting. To create a notification channel, navigate to the **Alerting Monitors** page and follow these steps:
1. Click **Manage Alert Channels**
2. Click **+ Alert Channel**
3. Select the channel type and enter a channel name
4. Fill in the required details for the selected type (see below)
5. Click **Validate** — Telmai will send a test message to confirm the connection
6. Click **Save**
### Slack Channel Setup
When adding a Slack channel, you will need:
* **Channel Name** — a label used to identify this channel within Telmai
* **Bot User OAuth Access Token** — the token generated from your Slack app (see [Slack Integration](/telmai/integrations/slack-integration.md))
* **Slack Channel(s)** — the Slack channel(s) where alerts will be posted (e.g. `#data-alerts`). Click **Add** to include multiple channels.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.telm.ai/telmai/monitoring-data/monitors-management/configuring-notifications.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
