Create alert

post/v2/environments/{environmentId}/alerts
Page View

Alert endpoints allow you to review or manage traffic alert rules, which monitor your integrations for healthy traffic. Learn about alerts.

There are two types of traffic alert rules: No Traffic or Error Threshold.

You can retrieve an alert rule, as well as create, update, or delete it. Alternatively, you can retrieve a list of alert rules. An alert rule response contains details about any related subscription links.

You can also retrieve a subscription link for an alert rule, as well as create, pause, or delete it.

Create alert

Create a traffic alert rule for a specific environment within a Redox organization. You can specify the details for the traffic alert rule via API or the Redox dashboard (create a traffic alert rule in the dashboard).

This endpoint allows you to create one alert rule at a time. To create multiple alert rules, you can create your own script and programmatically create a batch of alerts in an environment.
