- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and send a representative 7shifts payload.
- 5Select a report channel, test once, and review the monitor configuration in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create a monitor from any staffing message?
It creates one when the payload and your instruction contain enough information for a valid Datadog monitor.
Can Notis choose an alert threshold automatically?
You should provide the threshold or decision rule; otherwise Notis can report that it is missing.
Can this update an existing monitor instead?
Use a separate workflow with the Update monitor action when you need to change an existing monitor.
