Relevance AI adds Agent Alerts for workflow events and tool errors

Relevance AI's changelog entry for December 4, 2025 introduced Agent Alerts, a notification system for AI agents that combines the earlier Escalations and External Relays features into one interface. The company says users can create notification rules for specific agent statuses, monitor tool errors with alerts for repeated failures and choose delivery channels including email and Slack. All alert rules are managed from a central dashboard reached through the Alerts tab in an agent's build settings. New agents get the feature automatically, while existing agents with notification preferences keep their current settings until they are migrated.

The details

• Agent statuses that can trigger alerts: Escalated, Timed out and Unrecoverable errors.
• Tool error alerts target repeated failures.
• Notification channels include email and Slack.
• Listed as coming soon: aggregate alerts, such as notifying a user if an agent fails five times in an hour.
• Other December 2025 changelog items include project-wide default roles (December 1), a redesigned Add Step experience (December 2) and Spend Controls for automatic credit top-ups on Pro and Team plans (December 15).
