Managing email notifications
Configure Talend Data Catalog to send notifications to alert users when
certain events occur to the objects they are responsible for.
Notification types
There are different types of notifications:
- Notification when a harvesting server goes down.
- Notification for object changes when there are changes in a model or configuration, workflow transitions, or build errors on a configuration.
Talend Data Catalog sends a notification when the following events
occur:

You are a watcher of the model and have at least an object role with the Watcher Editing capability. | Notification is sent depending on the configured notification frequency. |
| Imported model structural changes | You are a watcher of the model and have at least an object role with the Watcher Editing capability. | Notification is sent as soon as the import succeeds bringing changes. |
| Import failed when the import is started by a schedule or the user session has expired |
