Anomaly Notification

An Anomaly Notification tells you a flow surfaced an anomaly in data you are responsible for. It arrives through a flow's in-app notification action: the flow defines which anomaly events produce one, and it is delivered to every user with the Admin role and to the members of the teams assigned to the affected datastore.

At a glance:

Property Value
Icon
Color Orange.
Type label ANOMALY
Unread dot Next to the date while the notification is unread; gone once it is read.
Title Composed from the subject rather than the message text: <container><datastore>. Because it is built from the entity, it stays accurate even when someone rewords the flow's message template.
Message The flow's own message, written by the flow's author.

What Triggers It

A flow acting on an anomaly, delivered by the flow's in-app notification action: a scan raising a new anomaly, an anomaly changing status, a ticket action tied to an anomaly, or a partition scan that produced findings.

Anomaly or Assignment?

Both types are about anomalies. The platform classifies by origin: one delivered by a flow is an Anomaly, while a direct update to an anomaly you are assigned to is an Assignment.

What It Shows

The headline places the anomaly in your data: the container it was found in and the datastore that holds it. Because it is composed from the entity itself, it stays accurate even when someone rewords the flow's message template. The message below is that template, written by the flow's author, so what it says depends on the flow that delivered it.

Where Clicking Takes You

The anomaly's overview. A notification from a partition scan opens the datastore's activity view instead, focused on that scan.
