Alerts Overview

Alerts serve to notify a user of important events that occur within Hub.

A user's most recent Alerts are displayed on the Dashboard, but may also be retrieved as an RSS feed or via Web API.

Hub is intentionally designed to limit the amount and type of Alerts that will be delivered via email, as larger organisations may see many alerts being generated. Therefore, we recommend organisations ingest notifications using the RSS feed or Web API.

Certain key events such as an explicit invitation to contribute data will always be delivered via e-mail in addition to Alerts.
