# Configure notifications
Choose how, when, and where to send your alert notifications.
As a first step, define your [contact points][contact-points] where to send your alert notifications to. A contact point is a set of one or more integrations that are used to deliver notifications.
Next, create a [notification policy][notification-policies] 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.
Optionally, you can add [notification templates][templates-page] to contact points for reuse and consistent messaging in your notifications.
