Generic Webhook

How to Configure the Generic Webhook

Start by navigating to your desired project. Choose Alerts & Webhooks from the left-hand navigation bar.

Click the "+ Add new action" button.
Select Generic from the Type dropdown.
Enter a clear Name for your webhook (e.g., Generic Performance Events Webhook).

Alert Settings

Trigger alerts: Toggle the event types (Pass, Slow, Warning, Fail) you want to send to your downstream system.
Tags (Optional): Use the Include tags and Exclude tags fields to filter exactly which APIs should trigger these alerts.
Threshold: Set a number for "Only alert after this many failures in a row" to avoid noisy alerting (leave as 0 to alert on every event).

Configuration

URL: Enter the publicly accessible destination URL for your downstream system or service.
HTTP Headers (Optional): Add up to three custom headers if required by your receiving system (e.g., Authorization: Bearer [access-token]). Make sure to use the exact "key: value" format.

Authentication

Method: Choose the authentication type your downstream server requires (None, Basic Auth, or Client Certificate).

Save and Manage

Ensure the Enabled toggle on the right side of the screen is set to ON, and click Save.

Note: Once configured, you can edit these settings at any time by clicking on the webhook. You can also use the right-hand panel to temporarily Snooze alerts for 6, 12, or 24 hours, or temporarily disable the webhook entirely without deleting it.
