Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Creates a synthetic API test to monitor API availability and performance from multiple locations.
Why this helps
A page can look fine in internal logs while customers cannot reach it from the outside.
- Add an external check as part of route launch follow-up.
- Specify the expected response and locations in one instruction.
- Catch availability issues that internal signals may miss.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, specify eligible route requests, endpoint, expected response or assertions, and Datadog locations for the synthetic test.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real route request and inspect the resulting test in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis select test locations automatically?
Name the desired locations in your instruction. Datadog has an action to retrieve available locations if you need to check which are available.
Can this test a whole browser journey?
The listed action creates a Synthetic API Test. Keep the request focused on an API endpoint and its expected response.
