# Notifications and issues

Data Health is integrated with Foundry Notifications and Emails to provide in-platform notifications and emails, respectively, in the event of a failed check.

## Foundry Notifications

Data Health will always send an in-platform notification to [watchers](../watching-checks/index.md) of failed checks:

## Email Notifications

As a watcher of a check, you can also enable email notifications for failed checks. You can change your email and notification preferences by navigating to the **Profile Icon** in the upper right corner, clicking on **Settings** and then navigating to the **Notifications** tab:

To receive updates on checks make sure to check everything under the **Builds** section.

## Integrating with Issues

You can also configure Data Health to automatically report an Issue when a check fails to make further debugging & discussion easier:

To enable Issue reporting, you just need to tick the **Automatically create an issue when this check fails** box when creating/editing a check:

You can also automatically assign the created issue to a specific user by entering their name in the box below.

Data Health will file an issue upon check failure, but it can also automatically close the issue once the check resolves.
