**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.
{% endhint %}

That's it, you are good to go! Your Oh Dear integration is now complete. Whenever Oh Dear fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert is resolved in Oh Dear, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.
