 1. The JSON format for webhook notifications has changed in Grafana Alerting and uses the format from [Prometheus Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/#webhook_config).
 
+1. Alerting on Prometheus `Both` type queries is not supported in Grafana Alerting. Existing legacy alerts with `Both` type queries are migrated to Grafana Alerting as alerts with `Range` type queries.
+
 **Limitations**
 
 1. Since `Hipchat` and `Sensu` notification channels are no longer supported, legacy alerts associated with these channels are not automatically migrated to Grafana Alerting. Assign the legacy alerts to a supported notification channel so that you continue to receive notifications for those alerts.
