**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 %}

### Create a Squadcast Webhook in Graylog

1. Login to your graylog web console and go to **Alert** tab on the top.
2. Click on **Notifications**.
3. Click on **Add new notification**.
4. Select **All messages** on **Notify on Stream**
5. Select **HTTP Alarm Callback** on **Notification type** and click on **Add alert notification**.
6. Give a title to the notification and put the Squadcast web hook url from the previous step on the url field and click on **Save**.
