Setting Up Notifications

Notifications are how Messijo tells you about mentions without you having to check the dashboard. Instead of polling, Messijo pushes alerts to the channels you already use: email, Slack, Discord, and webhooks. Let’s connect your first channel.

Step 1: Open the Notifications page

Log in and click Notifications in the header navigation. You’ll see a list of your notification channels (empty if this is your first one).

Step 2: Add a channel

Click the add action on the Notifications page. You’ll see the supported notification types:

• Email: alerts at your email address
• Slack: alerts in a Slack channel via OAuth
• Discord: alerts in a Discord channel via OAuth
• Webhook: HTTP POST requests to any URL

Step 3: Connect your channel

For your first channel, Email is the easiest: enter your email address and click save.

If you prefer Slack or Discord, create the notification and then connect it through the OAuth flow from its notification card. You’ll be redirected to Slack or Discord, asked to pick a workspace or server, and then choose which channel to post alerts to.

For a Webhook, enter your webhook URL, content type, and an optional secret for validation.

Step 4: Verify it works

After creating a channel, follow the verification, connection, or validation prompt shown for that notification type.

• Email: check your spam folder
• Slack: make sure the Messijo app was invited to the channel
• Discord: verify the webhook has permission to post in the selected channel
• Webhook: use the Validate Webhook action and check your endpoint logs for the validation requests

Step 5: Assign keywords to the channel

Notifications are triggered by keywords. To receive alerts for a specific keyword, go to Keywords, open the keyword card settings, choose Notifications, select your new channel in the dialog, and save.

Now whenever that keyword matches a post, Messijo sends a notification to your chosen channel.

Step 6: (Optional) Set up routing

As you add more keywords and channels, you can set up routing rules:

• Per-keyword routing: each keyword sends to a specific channel
• Per-Lens routing: only events that match a Lens go to a specific channel

For now, a single channel for all keywords is fine. You can refine routing as your setup grows.
