Watch the endpoint behind your contact verification flow
Set up a synthetic API test for the endpoint your team relies on, with verification context close at hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Creates a synthetic API test to monitor API availability and performance from multiple locations.
Why this helps
A contact verification workflow can depend on an endpoint that fails or slows down without a proactive check.
- Create a synthetic API test for a specified endpoint.
- Use Abstract to verify supplied contact data when relevant to the test request.
- Make endpoint monitoring setup easier to initiate from a webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the endpoint check.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the submitted contact detail with Abstract if needed and create a Datadog synthetic API test using the endpoint, request expectations, and locations you provide.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the synthetic test configuration.
Questions about this workflow
Does Abstract provide the endpoint to test?
No. Supply the endpoint and expected behavior in the request or automation instruction.
Can the workflow select test locations?
Specify desired locations or use Datadog's available locations action if your instruction and automation flow support that lookup.
Will creating the test prove the API works?
It creates a synthetic test configuration. The test must run and return results before its behavior can be assessed.
