Turn an alert integration request into a webhook
Capture a specific request to connect Datadog notifications to another service and create the webhook configuration in Datadog.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create Webhook
Create a webhook in datadog. webhooks enable you to receive notifications from datadog monitors and alerts to external services and applications.
Why this helps
Alert routing requests often remain in chat while the practical setup step waits for someone to pick it up.
- Give an integration request a concrete setup action.
- Keep notification routing work from falling between conversations.
- Reduce the manual handoff from request to configuration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Datadog to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Give one instruction to create a Datadog webhook only when a Slack channel request clearly identifies the destination and relevant purpose.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real integration request and verify the webhook in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Will the webhook be created from an incomplete request?
Ask Notis to create it only when the destination and purpose are clear, then verify the resulting configuration.
Does this send a notification?
The action creates a Datadog webhook configuration; it does not itself send a notification.
