{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Important**</mark>**:**

When an alert source turns <mark style="color:green;">Active</mark>, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.\
\
An Alert Source is <mark style="color:green;">active</mark> if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}

* You can also click on **Test Integration** to test the alert. This will create a test incident in Squadcast.

That's it, you are good to go! Your Airbrake integration is now complete.

* Whenever Airbrake fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it.
