Email Workflows

Overview

Email workflows in Tycho Data Osprey allow you to notify team members or external recipients when data quality issues occur. These alerts can include detailed context about failing checks, affected assets, and timestamps, making it easy to stay informed and take action directly from your inbox.

Use email workflows to notify:

• Data engineers about sensor issues

• Operators about abnormal process conditions

• Domain owners about missed SLA thresholds

• Distribution lists for broader visibility

Creating an Email Workflow

To create a new workflow that sends notifications via email:

1. Go to Settings > Workflows

2. Click Add Workflow

3. Under Workflow Type, select Email

Configure the workflow

Fill in the following fields:

• Name: A unique name for the workflow (e.g., Sensor Health Alerts)

• Description: Optional description for internal context

• Email Recipients: Enter one or more email addresses separated by semicolons Example: ops-team@company.com; data.eng@company.com

• Click Save to create the workflow

How Email Alerts Work

Once the workflow is active:

• It will listen for the configured trigger (i.e., asset status change)

• When triggered, it will send a formatted email to all recipients with key information:

• Asset or tag name

• Type and severity of issue

• Timestamp of detection
