Learn how you can configure the integration level alerts in Confluence
The Nightfall for Confluence integration supports the configuration of alerts at the policy level and at the integration level. Alerts can be sent in Confluence to the following alert destinations.
When you configure alert settings at the integration level, the alert settings apply to all the policies, created for the Confluence integration. However, when you configure alert settings specifically for a policy, which is created in the Confluence integration, the alert settings are applicable only for that specific policy.
