# Postman
[Postman](https://www.postman.com/) is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration.
Route detailed alerts from Postman to the right users in Squadcast.
### Using Postman as an Alert Source
1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.
2\. Select **Postman.** Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#create-a-squadcast-webhook-in-postman) it within **Postman.** Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done.**
{% hint style="warning" %}
**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 %}
## Create a Squadcast Webhook Alert in Postman
**(1)** Login to your Postman dashboard. Navigate to the **Integrations** section and select **Webhooks**. Under **Post monitoring results**, click on **Add Integration**
**(2)** Put in the **Nickname**. Choose the appropriate workspace and monitor. Paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the **Webhoo URL** place holder. Click on **Add Integration**
That's it, you are good to go! Your Postman integration is now complete.
Whenever Postman fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Once the **errorCount** and **failedTestCount** goes back to **0**, it will automatically be resolved in Squadcast.
