Nightfall for Google Drive allows you to configure alerts at the policy level and also at the integration level. Alerts can be sent in Google drive by using the following alert channels.
Slack
Webhook
Jira Tickets
When you configure alert settings at the integration level, the alert settings apply to all the policies, created for the Google Drive integration. However, when you configure alert settings specifically for a policy, which is created in the Google Drive integration, the alert settings are applicable only for that specific policy.
This document explains how to configure alerts at the integration level. To learn about how to configure alerts at the policy level, read this document.
