Organization Alerts and Notifications Configuration
Overview
The Alert Configuration feature acts as your central hub for managing all alerts and notifications within Meraki. It gives you full control over your alerts, allowing you to enable or disable them, customize settings, mute notifications, and manage how you are notified across different channels.
You can set organization-wide alert preferences that apply to all networks, alert types, or notification channels. This flexibility ensures that you stay informed in the way that best suits your needs.
Note: This is an organization-level configuration tool and as such requires organization admin rights
The Alert Configuration page is accessed through the Configure Alerts button on the Organization Alerts page seen here:
The Alert Configuration landing page shows all the available alerts and their respective current settings. This is where you will begin your notification and configuration workflow. The first tabs is the Organization Rules, and the second tab is the Alert Profiles where you create specific groupings of alerts, networks and recipients.
Components of the Organization Rules Tab
Editing Preferences
Individual Edit
In order to edit a single entry you simply click the “pencil” icon at the end of the line, this will present you with an editing modal to make your changes. Here you can enable/disable (mute) the alert, as well as enable/disable the email and webhook channels, and finally define which email recipients and/or webhook receivers you want to be notified. You will receive a notification “toast” that indicates the success or failure of your configuration.
Bulk Edit
You also have the ability to bulk edit alerts. This is useful for setting preferences for a series of alerts to address site-specific contacts and events; like muting alerts that will be triggered during maintenance windows. Upon selecting the bulk edit box a new blue banner appears above the table indicating how many alerts are selected. It also provides dropdowns to quickly select email or webhook preferences as well as enable/disable status.
When selecting the Edit Notification button, you are given the option of editing the email or webhook preferences as shown in the screenshots below:
When selecting the Edit Alert Status button, you are given the option of enabling or disabling the selected alerts

Adding a New Profile
Click the "+ Create alert profile" button to initiate a new profile creation window. Add a profile name, select which alerts you want included, and which networks you want linked to this profile. Next enable the alerts for the profile, and add your email and webhook destinations.
Select "Save changes" and you will be taken back to the Alert Profile main tab page and you will see your new profile card listed with the details of the profile.
