Steps to add AppSignal integration to a service in Squadcast

Important:

When an alert source turns Active, 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 active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.

Create a Squadcast Webhook in AppSignal Dashboard

  1. Log in to your AppSignal web console.

  2. Select the app you would create incidents for. Now, in the left sidebar, select Notifications

Create a Squadcast Webhook in AppSignal

  1. Click on Add Integration and select Webhook from the dropdown

Selection of Webhook in integrations in AppSignal

  1. Give the Webhook a Name, select the types of events for which you would like to create incidents for, and paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook under Webhook URL

Selection of name, type of events for the incident and use Squadcast webhook URL

Important: When you click on the Test Hook button after adding the Webhook, AppSignal sends test data over a GET HTTP Request and not a POST HTTP Request. As a result, you will not notice an incident in Squadcast for the same. To test the Webhook, either generate or wait for real-time alerts to occur within AppSignal.

Test hook Webhook URL

  1. Click on Submit to save this Webhook integration

That is it, you are good to go!

Now, whenever an event is generated in AppSignal, an incident for the same will be created in Squadcast.

FAQ:

Q: Does this integration support the auto-resolution of incidents in Squadcast? A: No, this integration does not support auto-resolution of incidents in Squadcast since AppSignal does not send out alert resolve notifications via Webhook.
