Capture incident milestones in the Datadog event timeline

Record a concise, reviewed milestone while incident context is fresh and keep it alongside other operational events.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create event

Creates an event to record an important occurrence, such as a deployment or outage.

Why this helps

Incident timelines lose useful detail when milestone notes are postponed until after the investigation.

  • Capture confirmed milestones while context is fresh.
  • Make incident timeline details searchable in Datadog.
  • Reduce reliance on a separate note for key operational events.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to review the submitted milestone and create a Datadog event with only confirmed timeline details.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real incident milestone and verify the event content.

Questions about this workflow

How is this different from recording a deployment?

This workflow focuses on a specific confirmed incident milestone, such as a response or recovery update, while deployment capture records a release or change.

Will it infer missing incident times?

No. It should use submitted timing details and report when information needed for a useful event is missing.
