Insights Alerts

The Postman Insights Alerts tab provides a centralized alert system for endpoint error rates to help you catch and fix critical issues. With Insights alerts you can adjust error rate thresholds, find and view problematic endpoints, mute or unmute alerts globally for specific endpoints, and integrate your alerts with Slack.

Coming soon: Support for alerts on error count, total volume, and more.
