Notifications for scheduled refreshes - now in Beta

[szymon_dybczak]

If you’ve ever worked with scheduled refreshes for Materialized Views or Streaming Tables, you probably know this pain. If your DDL-scheduled MV or ST refresh failed, nothing happened. No email, no alert, no indication that your data was stale (until you get pinged about stale data or increased costs).
That’s now changing. Databricks just introduced failure notifications for scheduled refreshes (Beta).

You can now configure email alerts for when refreshes start, succeed, or fail directly from the Catalog Explorer.

📎 Bonus: Notification emails include a direct link to the run history - making debugging much faster

Welcome back, @szymon_dybczak! 😃
That silent failure pain was real. These alerts are a massive win for everyone’s sanity. Thanks for the heads-up!
