  • If I update an alert that's already been published, do users receive the updated alert as well? As in, if they dismiss the original alert and I update it, will they see an updated banner if I change the information?

  • Hi Francine, great question! Yes, the alert will be re-triggered, and all users will see it again, even if they've already dismissed it.

  • Hi Susan. Yes, they should also receive another email. The alert is being treated as essentially a new alert when it's updated.

  • Hi LaShonte. Yes, Alerts should go to private Slack channels. The person creating the Alert just needs to be a member of the Slack channel in question.
