Overview

Sifflet webhook integration allows you to send notifications about your monitors on your endpoints. Webhooks make it easy to push Sifflet-originating data observability insights wherever you want:

  • To any notification and ticketing tool your team is using to keep track of data quality issues over there
  • To custom scripts to trigger remediation workflows
  • To data catalogs to ensure de-risked data self-service
  • And more!

Manage the Integration

Set up the Integration

  1. Go to your Sifflet application
  2. Hover the Settings entry of the navigation bar and click the Collaboration tools entry
  3. Look for the Webhookssection
  4. Give your webhook a name
  5. Enter your webhook URL
  6. Optionally, add a custom header to attach to the payload (for authentication or any other purposes)
  7. Click the Send test notification button. A payload such as the below one gets sent to your endpoint. A success toast notification shows up in Sifflet if a 2xx status code is returned by your endpoint.
