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

For an Alert Source to turn <mark style="color:green;">active</mark> (indicated by a **green dot - Receiving alerts** against the name of the Alert Source in the drop-down), you can either generate a test alert 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 in the last 30 days.
{% endhint %}

### Create a Squadcast Webhook Alert in Better Uptime

That's it, you are good to go! Your CloudAMQP integration is now complete.

Whenever CloudAMQP fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert is resolved in CloudAMQP, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.
