StatusCake Event Source

The StatusCake Event Source for Signals allows users to create events in FireHydrant from uptime monitors in StatusCake. Anytime that StatusCake sends a webhook event to FireHydrant, we’ll evaluate the event payload to see if it matches a rule set up by one of your teams. Learn more about Alert Rules here.

1. In FireHydrant, navigate to the Event Sources page. Here, copy the ingest URL for StatusCake.

   

2. In StatusCake, navigate to Alerting > Contact Groups. Click the "New Contact Group" button to create a new contact group.
