# Incident notifications in the bell and Inbox are readable again

A “Down” notification in the bell crammed the rule name, a raw “Alert Rule 600 triggered”, the full checker error and three probe locations into one unformatted line, while the resolved one was clear. That was our clutter. The notification now says only what you need to decide whether to click: the rule that fired on one line and the monitor's target URL on the next, with the monitor name in the title and the incident page one click away for the detected value, locations and timeline. Resolved notifications keep their duration and gain the same target line.
