With TeamCity you simply cannot miss any important events which may take place during the automated building process. Its multiple and flexible means of monitoring and notification help you keep an eye on the desired events and receive information about the first problems even before the build has finished.

Flexible notification rules
TeamCity provides many possibilities for notifying the developers about the status of the projects they monitor.

For example, you can:
- select from the wide range of notification services
- customize the events which trigger the notification
