Turn API test requests into synthetic checks
When an issue asks for an API check, have Notis create a Datadog Synthetic API test from the endpoint details provided.
Trigger
New Issue

Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Create a synthetic api test in datadog. creates a new synthetic api test that continuously monitors api endpoints from multiple locations worldwide. useful for proactive monitoring of api uptime, performance, and functionality.
Why this helps
API checks can be forgotten after a request is filed, especially when the endpoint details must be carried across tools.
- Keep requested endpoint coverage tied to its Jira request.
- Reduce manual recreation of test requirements.
- Catch missing endpoint details before test creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Synthetic API test only for issues that request one and contain the endpoint and test details.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request issue.
