Create an alert

It's great to have automatic pipeline runs set up, but we also want to know when the pipeline fails. Therefore, we'll set up an alert that notifies us if something goes wrong.

1. Open the bottom drawer
2. Navigate to Alerts
3. Click on Add an alert
4. Provide a name for the alert: invalid_orders_run
5. Under Trigger, select orders_15m_schedule
6. Select Partially invalid and Invalid as statuses
7. Under destinations, provide your user email
8. Commit and push the changes with an appropriate commit title (e.g., alert: add failure alert for orders pipeline)
