Webhooks Integration

Webhooks

Webhooks allow your application to send out information using HTTP callbacks. Operations for Applications supports webhooks through the Webhook alert target. You can use an alert target to send notifications that are based on alert trigger conditions.

Webhooks Setup

Step 1. Create a Webhook Alert Target

1. In Operations for Applications, create an alert target.
2. Give the alert target a meaningful name.
3. In the Triggers field, select the alert state changes that should trigger the notification. See Creating an Alert Target..
4. Make sure that the Type is set to Webhook.

5. Paste the application’s notification URL into the URL field.

6. In the content type field, select application/json.
7. Select Body Template > TEMPLATE > Generic Webhook.
8. Customize the template.
9. Click Save. The webhook alert target is added to the Alert Targets page.
10. In the Name column, note the ID of the alert target under the alert target description.

Step 2. Add the Alert Target to an Alert

1. In Operations for Applications, open the Alerts browser.
2. If you have an alert, locate the alert and click the alert name to open the alert in edit mode. Otherwise, create an alert. For help, see Create and Manage Alerts.

3. Scroll down to the Recipients field.
