We are happy to announce our latest feature: “Webhook for Incidents”

we’ll go over how to set up webhook integration in Xitoring and give an example of what Xitoring will post to your webhook URL.

Creating a Webhook URL

To get started, you need to create a webhook URL in your server or application. This is the URL where Xitoring will send the webhook notifications. It’s essential to make sure the URL is publicly accessible and can receive HTTP POST requests.

Once you have a webhook URL, log in to your Xitoring account and go to the Notification Roles page. From there, you can create a new notification role or add a webhook to an existing role. Then, enter your webhook URL in the field provided and click on “Send a Test Notification” to verify that everything is set up correctly.
