Notifications
xcelera can notify you when audits complete, fail, or detect performance regressions. Notifications are delivered via email and webhooks.
Notification types
- Audit failed — the audit encountered an error (page unreachable, timeout, etc.)
- Score regressed — the performance score dropped by 5 or more points compared to the previous audit
- Audit completed — the audit finished successfully
Notification levels
Control which notifications you receive by setting a notification level:
| Level | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Critical | Audit failures only |
| Warning | Failures + score regressions (default) |
| All | Every audit result |
| Off | Nothing |
Each level includes everything from the levels above it. For example, Warning includes all Critical notifications plus score regressions.
Setting your level
Configure your global notification level in Settings → Notifications. This applies to all pages by default.
Per-page overrides
You can override the global level for individual pages. This is useful when you want more or fewer notifications for specific pages — for example, All for your homepage but Critical for a low-priority staging page.
Per-page overrides are set from the page's notification settings.
Email notifications
Notifications are sent to your account email. You can suppress emails from Settings → Notifications if you only want to receive webhook notifications.
If you stop receiving emails, check your notification settings — emails may have been automatically suppressed due to delivery issues. You can re-enable them from the same settings page.
Webhook notifications
For programmatic integrations (Slack, PagerDuty, custom dashboards), set up webhooks to receive notifications as HTTP POST requests.
