Rules on new issues, regressions, spikes and slow responses, sent to email, Slack, Discord, or a signed webhook that can start your coding agent.

- **Issue rules:** new issue, regression, frequency
- **Metric rules:** error count, failure rate, p95
- **Channels:** email, Slack, Discord, webhook
- **Webhook:** HMAC-SHA256 signed

On Developer, your coding agent can pick up any of these issues over MCP and fix it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can an alert start an AI agent?

Yes. Point a webhook at the job that runs your agent. The payload carries the issue id, which the agent passes to Parsemend's MCP server.

### Do downtime and missed cron jobs alert too?

Yes. They open ordinary issues, so the same rules and channels apply.

### Does a new project alert by default?

No. Add a rule for new issues and regressions when you create the project.

_A new project has no alert rule until you add one._
