# How to set up Crashlytics alerting to monitor app stability

**[Firebase](https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Firebase Crashlytics offers five alert types—new fatal, new non-fatal, trending issues digest, regression detection, and velocity alerts—to help teams monitor app stability without constantly watching the console. Alerts can be delivered via email, in-console notifications, Slack, Jira, or PagerDuty. The post walks through setting up each channel and shares usage patterns: Slack for real-time issue feeds, Jira for manual ticket creation plus automated triggers on velocity/regression alerts, and PagerDuty mainly for velocity alerts on critical situations. Cloud Functions integration is suggested for more custom workflows.

## Questions this post answers

### What types of alerts does Firebase Crashlytics send for app crashes?

Firebase Crashlytics sends five alert types: new fatal issue, new non-fatal issue, trending issues digest, regression detection, and velocity alerts. New issue alerts are off by default to avoid noise, while the trending issues digest email is on by default. Regression alerts fire when a previously closed issue reoccurs in a new app version, and velocity alerts trigger when an issue suddenly impacts a large share of users.

### How do I connect Firebase Crashlytics alerts to Slack, Jira, or PagerDuty?

Integrate each service from the Crashlytics project settings Integrations tab, then choose triggers. For Slack, provide a webhook URL, channel name, and username and select triggers such as new fatals, non-fatals, regressions, and velocity alerts. Jira supports automatic issue creation on those same events or manual creation from a Crashlytics issue. PagerDuty is configured similarly, and is mostly used for velocity alerts.
