Creating Alert Rules

Each row in your Slack alerting configuration defines a unique alert.

The Type field sets which uploads will be used to evaluate rule thresholds. The Type can be set to "All Pull Requests" or any build type you've uploaded. Selecting "All Pull Requests" will compare a new build against its base build. Selecting a build type will compare a build with the previous upload of that same build type.

The Size Diff Threshold will send an alert if a diff exceeds the specified threshold. The diff number uses the default metric for each platform (iOS = Install Size | Android = Download Size).

The Absolute Threshold sends an alert if the download size for a build exceeds the specified number.

If you want to receive a Slack alert for all builds processed by Emerge for a specified build type, simply set your threshold value to 0.

Once created, you will now receive start being alerted in Slack based on your configured settings!
