See how you can configure a service on Squadcast to get alerts from Datadog.

- Select Datadog from the Integration Type drop-down menu
- Copy the Datadog Webhook URL generated below and click “Save”
Now follow these steps on Datadog:
- Open Integrations page from the sidebar
- Use the search bar to search for Webhooks
- Once the Webhooks tile appears, hover and click on "Install"
- Navigate to the Configuration tab and scroll to the bottom of the page
- Under the section Name and URL, enter a meaningful name and paste the Datadog Webhook URL provided by Squadcast
- Tick the checkbox under the section Use custom payload
- Copy-paste the following JSON in the text box under the Custom Payload section
{
"alertId": "$ALERT_ID",
"eventMessage": "$TEXT_ONLY_MSG",
"title": "$EVENT_TITLE",

}- Click on “Install Integration” to complete the service integration
That's it :) You are now good to go with your Datadog integration!
