Prometheus alerts can be received directly without requirement of any targets configuration in Alert Manager.
It benefits pull mechanism instead of push, which frees you of setting up any other services such as Slack, Email setup or even Alert Manager itself.
It checks Prometheus api (Prometheus web ui in default port 9090) for alerts frequently so you can easily use Nginx reverse proxy in front of Prometheus to secure the communications and enable basic authentication or ssl encryption.
