Manual alert triggers

Here's how to set up a manual alert trigger. Once configured, you can create an alert in a channel by using a Slack slash command, create incidents tied to those alerts, and invoke Transposit actions to remediate the incidents.

Transposit Trigger Setup

  1. On the Transposit site, navigate to Settings > Triggers, and click Add trigger. Choose "Manual alert integrator", enter a Slack channel, and click Add.
