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.

(2) Under AVAILABLE CHANNELS, choose Webhooks. Then click on Configure notifications
(3) Under Configure notifications, paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the placeholder for Webhook URL. Select the alert triggers and click on Update
You can also click on Send test to test the alert. This will create a test incident in Squadcast.
That's it, you are good to go! Your Oh Dear integration is now complete. Whenever Oh Dear fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert is resolved in Oh Dear, the corresponding incident gets auto-resolved in Squadcast.
