Adding a Zapier destination

When you need more complex actions to occur as a result of a monitoring notification, you can use the Zapier integration to trigger any number of external integrations.

Configuration of a new Zapier Zap is performed outside of the SquaredUp application, directly in your Zapier web portal.

Prerequisites

A Squared API Key is required for connecting Zapier to SquaredUp.

In SquaredUp browse to Settings > API Keys > Create new API Key. Copy the API key to your clipboard.

Configure a new Zap in your Zapier web portal

1. In your Zapier portal, create a new Zap, selecting the SquaredUp integration for your Zap trigger.
2. When configuring the SquaredUp trigger, select New Notification. This trigger is invoked when a new monitoring notification is raised by the SquaredUp platform.
3. Next, configure your secure connection with your SquaredUp account by connecting with the API Key you obtained earlier. You will also need to know if you are accessing our SquaredUp US or EU application region. SquaredUp region access
4. After connecting successfully to your SquaredUp account with your API Key, you must enter a name for the trigger that will be created.
   This name will also appear in your list of notification destinations in the SquaredUp application, so enter something meaningful like "My SquaredUp Zapier Integration". This name must be unique and not clash with any existing notification destination names in SquaredUp.
5. On the next step, click Test Trigger to see an example notification message that will be sent to Zapier when this trigger fires. Sample alert
6. At this stage, you can continue to set up the rest of your Zap, and select one or more actions to invoke as a result of any notifications.
7. Once your Zap is complete, save / publish your Zap. Zapier automatically creates the Notification Destination in your SquaredUp application. You may need to refresh the list of Notification Destinations to see the newly created Zapier destination.
