# Admin Alerting

Learn how to configure admin alerts in Nightfall exfiltration policies.

This stage allows you to select the notifications channels. If Nightfall detects sensitive data in any of the selected upload channels, the notifications are sent to the recipients configured in this section.

## Admin Alerting

This section allows you to send notifications to Nightfall users. The various alert methods are as follows. You must first turn on the toggle switch to use an alert method.

{% hint style="info" %}
The alert configurations configured in this section describe the process of creating alerts at the policy level. Policy-level alerts apply only to the policy on which they are configured. To configure an alert on all the mac/Windows OS Exfiltration policies, you must configure alerts at the integration level. To learn more about how to configure integration-level alerts, read [this document](https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_endpoint/integration_alerts).
{% endhint %}

The steps to configure alert channels for policy-level integration are the same as in the case of integration-level alerts. You can refer to [this document](https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_endpoint/integration_alerts)[ ](/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_google_drive/integration_alerts.md#configure-alerts-at-the-integration-level)for steps.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_endpoint/policies/advanced_settings/alerting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
