Integration · Email
Scheduled exports in the inbox.
When the on-call lives in their inbox, deliver the report there. CSV or Excel download link, predictable subject line, multiple recipients per channel. Optional alerts on schema events to the same address.
A list per channel.
Multiple addresses per email channel. Use a distribution list or a shared inbox to keep membership outside Taavik.
Retry on transient failures.
Greylisting, queue saturation, momentary 5xx, all retried with exponential backoff up to six attempts. Hard bounces flagged in the run history.
Subject line
Predictable, filterable.
Sample subjects
[Taavik] failed_tx_daily · 2026-05-12 · 247 rows [Taavik] finance_reconciliation_weekly · 2026-05-12 · 1,108 rows [Taavik] alerts · prod_app schema change (2 likely breaking)
Inbox filter rules can route by the schedule name, the row count, the date, or the literal Taavik prefix. The format is stable so the rules survive plan upgrades.
FAQ
Email integration: scheduled exports and alerts
What sender address do emails come from? +
alerts at taavik.com by default. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured for that domain so your inbox provider treats it as legitimate.
Is the export delivered as a link? +
Linked. The email contains a secure Taavik download link for the CSV or Excel file, with the run summary in the message body.
Can I customize the subject? +
v1 ships with a stable format optimized for inbox filters. Customization will land when enough teams ask for it.
What about distribution lists? +
Use them. Many teams point Taavik at a shared inbox or a distribution list and let their identity provider govern membership.
