You can send notifications to public or private Slack channels.

To send notifications to a private channel, you first need to add the Dreamdata app to your private channel in Slack by following the guide: How to add the Dreamdata app to a Slack private channel. This is not required for public channels.

When and how often will the messages be sent?

The Dreamdata App will automatically send messages following each data modelling run, as configured in the Data Modelling Schedule section of the Data Hub.
