Connectors – PagerDuty

API Fortress + PagerDuty Integration Benefits:

  • Notify on-call responders based on failures in your API Fortress tests.
  • Send critical information on the failure as well as a link to the test report from the failed test.
  • Create high and low urgency incidents based on the severity of the failure via dynamic tags in the test.
Below is a quick guide to setting up and using the PagerDuty connector.

Note: this connector does not come pre-loaded out of the box, and will need to be loaded separately. To learn how to load the connector into your API Fortress instance click here.

This connector is built and supported by API Fortress. If you need any help with this connector please reach out to API Fortress support at support@apifortress.com.

      2. Use an existing integration or create a new one specifically for API Fortress. The integration key provided is the “routing_key”

    3. dedup_key is a key that will allow to you match a triggered alert with a response for that alert
