{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Important**</mark>**:**

When an alert source turns <mark style="color:green;">Active</mark>, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.\
\
An Alert Source is <mark style="color:green;">active</mark> if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.

4. Give the Webhook a **Name**, select the types of events for which you would like to create incidents for, and paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook under **Webhook URL**

<figure><img src="https://1574591692-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8TaWz01jmUJl58p4ZVel%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-bca2ab6936743fd00ed3d526a07b522d97396ba9%2Fappsignal_4.png?alt=media&#x26;token=b274e7dc-7adb-452a-bca7-a9ac5c190e7a" alt="Selection of name, type of events for the incident and use Squadcast webhook URL" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** When you click on the **Test Hook** button after adding the Webhook, AppSignal sends test data over a `GET HTTP Request` and **not** a `POST HTTP Request`. As a result, **you will not notice an incident in Squadcast** for the same. To test the Webhook, either generate or wait for real-time alerts to occur within AppSignal.
{% endhint %}

5. Click on **Submit** to save this Webhook integration

That is it, you are good to go!

Now, whenever an event is generated in AppSignal, an incident for the same will be created in Squadcast.

**FAQ:**

Q: Does this integration support the auto-resolution of incidents in Squadcast?\
\
A: No, this integration does not support auto-resolution of incidents in Squadcast since AppSignal does not send out alert resolve notifications via Webhook.
