# Manage your alert notifications
|
||
|
||
Choosing how, when, and where to send your alert notifications is an important part of setting up your alerting system. These decisions will have a direct impact on your ability to resolve issues quickly and not miss anything important.
|
||
|
||
As a first step, define your contact points; where to send your alert notifications to. A contact point is a set of one or more [integrations]({{< relref "./manage-contact-points/configure-integrations" >}}) that are used to deliver notifications. Add notification templates to contact points for reuse and consistent messaging in your notifications.
|
||
|
||
Next, create a notification policy which is a set of rules for where, when and how your alerts are routed to contact points. In a notification policy, you define where to send your alert notifications by choosing one of the contact points you created. Add mute timings to your notification policy. A mute timing is a recurring interval of time during which you don’t want any notifications to be sent out.
|
||
|
||
You can also add silences to stop notifications from one or more alert rules. The difference between a silence and a mute timing is that a silence only lasts for a specified window of time.
|
||
|
||
When an alert rule fires, the ruler sends alert instances to the Alertmanager; one alert rule can trigger multiple individual alert instances.
|
||
|
||
The Alertmanager receives these alert instances and then handles silences, groups alerts, and sends notifications to your contact points as defined in the notification policy.
