{% hint style="warning" %} **Important****:**
When an alert source turns Active, 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 active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}
### In Freshservice: Create a Squadcast webhook alert
1. In the app, go to **Admin > Workflows Automator** to create the webhook
2. Click on **New Automator** and select the suitable category from the drop-down. Here, we have selected **Ticket**
3. Provide a **Title** and an optional **Description**. Next, click on **Create**
4. In the **Events** section, you can select and add the **Events** of your choice. Here, we have added 3 Events as shown in the screenshot. Then, click on **Done**
5. Drag **ACTION** from the menu on the left onto the screen
a. From the drop-down for **Perform these actions on**, select **Ticket**
b. Then, from the next drop-down, select **Trigger Webhook**
c. Choose **Request Type** as `POST`
d. In **Callback URL** paste the previously copied Squadcast webhook URL here
e. Choose **Encoding** as `JSON` and `Simple`
f. In **Content**, you can select all of the available fields to send complete information as the alert to Squadcast.
As the bare minimum, please select the below:
```json
ticket_status
ticket_id
ticket_priority
ticket_subject
ticket_due_by_time
ticket_description
ticket_source
ticket_department_name
ticket_category
ticket_url
ticket_portal_url
approval_url
approval_portal_url
ticket_group_name
associated_asset_names
ticket_tags
ticket_agent_email
ticket_agent_name
ticket_requester_name
ticket_requester_email
ticket_requester_phone
```
g. Then, click on **Done**
{% hint style="info" %} **Note****:**
The **Test Webhook** option sends empty data on the configured **Callback URL**. As a result, since no data is available in the alert payload, no incident is created in Squadcast for it. **Please create a test ticket post configuring this webhook as indicated in this document to see a test incident created for it in Squadcast**, to ensure that the configuration is working as expected.
{% endhint %}
