Turn monitor ids into actionable incident context
Give responders the configuration behind an alert as soon as it arrives.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Monitor
Tool to get a single monitor. use when you need full details of a specific monitor by its id.
Why this helps
Alerts often identify a monitor without showing the details responders need next.
- Speeds first-response investigation
- Reduces dashboard hunting
- Creates consistent alert context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack in Notis once.
- 2Create a webhook automation for monitor detail lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the monitor identified in the webhook and summarize its configuration for responders.
- 4Select a webhook trigger and report destination.
- 5Test it with one real alert payload.
Questions about this workflow
Can the webhook contain a monitor name instead of an id?
Ask Notis to resolve names when possible, but an id is the most reliable identifier.
Does it change monitor settings?
No. This workflow only retrieves details.
