Action
Create Heartbeat Group
Tool to create a new heartbeat group. use when you need to organize related heartbeat checks under a single, logical group. example prompt: "create a new heartbeat group named 'backend services'."

- Keep the group name from the request intact.
- Receive a report confirming the action result.

- 5Test with one real group name.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create heartbeat checks too?
No. It creates a group for heartbeat checks; the action does not create the checks themselves.
Can I use it for a group name proposed in chat?
Use a finalized name in the webhook request so the automation creates the intended group.
