By now, you have used every different type of alert available and many of the more common alert actions such as emailing. However, one powerful alert action feature we have yet to touch upon is the ability to leverage webhooks when an alert triggers.
In this recipe, you will create a simple, real-time, per-result alert that triggers when any 503 HTTP web server errors are detected. Upon triggering, the alert will leverage a webhook to make an HTTP POST request on a URL. The webhook will pass JSON formatted information about the alert in the body of the POST request and trigger a notification message to pop up in a chat application.
