Quiet expected alerts during AimTell maintenance
Give planned push platform maintenance a Datadog downtime so expected interruptions do not crowd your attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create downtime
Creates downtime to silence alerts during maintenance or planned outages.
Why this helps
Planned service work can generate alert noise that competes with issues needing immediate attention.
- Reduce avoidable alert interruptions during planned work.
- Keep maintenance context linked to the resulting downtime.
- Avoid re-entering provided maintenance details by hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AimTell and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create Datadog downtime for the maintenance window stated in each AimTell notification.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real maintenance notification that includes its scheduled window.
Questions about this workflow
Can this infer a maintenance window that AimTell did not send?
No. The notification must provide enough timing information for Notis to create the downtime; supply any missing window details in the notification.
What starts the workflow?
A Notis webhook starts it when AimTell sends a maintenance notification to the webhook.
