Explanation

Databricks Jobs has a built-in alerting and notification system accessible directly from the Job's configuration page. You can configure email notifications for events such as job start, success, failure, or skipped runs - no custom code required. Setting up alerts in individual Notebook cells would be fragile and require manual effort in each notebook. MLflow webhooks are for model registry events, not job failures. The built-in Job-level alert configuration is the correct and intended approach.
