# Alerts and notifications 

{ref}`notifications` are used to notify you of system events on jobs (both scheduled and manually triggered), for example, job finish, and additionally on job start of workflows; {ref}`alerts` are a broader mechanism that allows defining rules like "event X happens N times in T minutes," and are often used for monitoring production models or failing jobs.
