To send notifications about changes in your data, start by creating a notification endpoint to a third-party service. After creating notification endpoints, [create notification rules](/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/notification-rules/create) to send alerts to third-party services on [check statuses](/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/checks/create).

#### Endpoints available in InfluxDB Cloud

The following endpoints are available for the InfluxDB Cloud Free Plan and Usage-based Plan:
