Webhook Payloads

Webhook Payloads

Webhooks have two main payload types: inbound and outbound. Outbound payloads can be customized and sent as notifications.

To create a customized webhook payload:

1. Navigate to your Account Profile > Notifications > Webhook.
2. Click + Add Webhook.
3. Fill out all fields; select Custom from the Payload dropdown.
4. Input your custom JSON + Freemarker writeup.
5. Save.

Example 1

{
   "message_type":"<#if payloadType == "event">${eventCategory.name}</#if><#if payloadType == "event_cleared">RECOVERY</#if>",
   "entity_id":"${elementId}",
   "entity_display_name":"${elementName}",
   "state_message":"<#if payloadType == "event"> [${elementName}] [${policyName}] [${eventTimestamp}] : ${policyDescription}</#if><#if payloadType == "event_cleared">The policy ${policyName} has CLEARED for ${elementName} and is no longer generating events as of ${eventTimestamp}</#if>"
}

Example 2

{"text": "${eventTimestamp}: The CPU on ${elementId} has exceeded 5% for at least 5 minutes. \n Event Category: ${eventCategory.name} \n Fqn: ${elementFqn} \n location: ${elementLocation}"}
