You can now configure alerts for key events like plan/apply completions, failures, and Guardrail rule violations. This feature keeps your team informed and enables rapid response to critical incidents, boosting visibility and effortlessly maintaining compliance.

This update simplifies your DevOps workflows, ensuring everything stays on track with minimal effort.
