13. Setup Connectors
       (For Notification and Data)

Introduction

Connectors are the way API Fortress integrates with other services and platforms to send data and/or notifications to them. A big benefit is how seamlessly API Fortress can be integrated into your day-to-day operations without disrupting workflows. There are two levels of notification integrations:
  • Failures Only Sends a notification only when a test failure happens; this is typical for stateless services such as Slack.
  • Send All Sends all events, including successes; this is very handy when the service needs to log everything or alter a state.

Currently Available

API Fortress offers a full-featured API as well as webhooks for third-party integrations. Any platform with an API can be integrated with API Fortress. Find our current preconfigured connectors and connectors-in-progress in this list:
