# Configure the notification message and save

When your alert fires, the notification includes a **Summary** and a **Description**. In this milestone, you complete both, then save the rule.

1. In the **Summary** field, add this notification:
   
   `QuickPizza returned {{ $value }} server errors in the last 5 minutes`
   
   When the alert fires, {{ $value }} is replaced with the live query result.
2. In the **Description** field, add this text:
   
   `Fires when the 5-minute rate of QuickPizza HTTP 5xx responses stays above the threshold. Check the app dashboard and recent deploys first.`
   
   Use the description to explain what the alert watches and where to start looking.
3. Click **Save** in the action bar at the bottom of the page to save and activate your alert rule.

Your alert rule is saved and running. When the condition holds past your pending period, the alert fires and notifications go to your contact point.
