Check an important customer API proactively
Keep an eye on an API endpoint that supports your agency workflows with a Datadog synthetic test configured around the checks your team cares about.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Creates a synthetic API test to monitor API availability and performance from multiple locations.
Why this helps
A customer-facing API problem may go unnoticed until someone reports it, interrupting service and follow-up work.
- Monitor a defined endpoint proactively.
- Choose checks that reflect the expected API behavior.
- Catch availability or response issues earlier.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgencyZoom and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Datadog synthetic API test for the endpoint and checks you provide, using AgencyZoom context only to identify the relevant workflow.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real endpoint and inspect the test configuration.
Questions about this workflow
Does AgencyZoom provide the endpoint automatically?
No endpoint is specified here. Provide the URL and the expected response checks for the API you want to monitor.
Does this test validate AgencyZoom data accuracy?
A synthetic API test checks the endpoint behavior defined in its configuration. It does not verify business data accuracy unless the checks are explicitly designed to do so.
