Read the Docs webhook notification filtering for high-frequency builds

Project Build Notifications

Read the Docs allows the configuration of webhooks and email alerts to monitor build status across various branches and tags. This ensures that teams are notified of failures in the documentation pipeline immediately.

Notification Noise Constraints

In environments with frequent automated commits or numerous active feature branches, the volume of build event notifications can lead to alert fatigue. While basic filtering by branch or tag is available in the project settings, there is a need for more granular control to suppress redundant alerts for non-critical branches during rapid iteration cycles.

It is unclear if the native platform supports rate-limiting for specific event types or pattern-based suppression before the webhook payload is dispatched.

• Does Read the Docs provide native mechanisms to rate-limit build notifications for specific branches?
• Can notification triggers be configured to fire only after a specific number of consecutive failures?
