Notification settings

Overview

VerifyWise sends notifications to keep you informed about governance activities. They help make sure team members know about updates, deadlines and actions that need attention.

Types of notifications

VerifyWise can notify you about various governance events. The categories below are the user-facing groupings; the underlying notification types are managed centrally and routed by the system to the appropriate channel:

• Model updates: Changes to AI models in your inventory
• Risk assessments: New risks identified or risk status changes
• Compliance changes: Updates to assessment progress or control status
• Policy updates: Changes to policy status or upcoming reviews
• Vendor changes: Vendor status updates or new vendor risks
• Training reminders: Training programs approaching or past due

Slack notifications

The main way to get notifications from VerifyWise is through the Slack integration. When it's set up, VerifyWise sends real-time notifications to your Slack workspace.

To set up Slack notifications:

1. Go to Integrations from the main menu
2. Click on the Slack integration card
3. Authorize VerifyWise to connect to your Slack workspace
4. Pick which channels should receive notifications
5. Set up notification routing for different event types

Notification routing

With the Slack integration, you can send different notification types to different channels. This keeps things organized so team members see the updates that matter to them.

Example routing setups:

• #ai-governance: All governance-related notifications
• #compliance-team: Compliance assessment updates and deadlines
• #risk-alerts: New risks and critical risk updates
• #model-updates: Model inventory changes and lifecycle events

In-app indicators

On top of external notifications, VerifyWise shows visual indicators within the platform to flag items that need attention:

• Dashboard widgets: Priority indicators and status charts on the main dashboard
• Status badges: Visual badges showing item status throughout the platform
• Review dates: Policies and assessments show when reviews are due
• Risk severity: Color-coded indicators for risk levels

Staying informed

To stay on top of your governance program:

• Check the dashboard regularly: It gives you a real-time overview of your governance status
• Set up Slack integration: Get notifications in the tool you already use every day
• Review status cards: Status breakdowns help you spot areas that need attention
• Watch review dates: Keep track of when policies and assessments need review

Frequently asked questions

Does VerifyWise send email notifications?

Slack is the main notification channel right now. Email is used for account-related things like invitations and password resets, but not for governance notifications.

Can I turn off certain notifications?

Notification filtering is handled through the Slack integration settings. You can configure which types are sent and which channels receive them. Talk to your admin to adjust notification settings.

Who receives notifications?

Slack notifications go to channels, so anyone with access to those channels sees them. Channel membership is managed in Slack. In-app indicators are visible to all users who can view the relevant content.
