Payload shape
A generic webhook alert can include title, message, status, severity, external id, labels and source links. IncidentRelay normalizes it into the same alert workflow used by monitoring integrations.
Minimal example
{
"title": "Database connection errors",
"severity": "critical",
"status": "firing",
"labels": {
"team": "platform",
"service": "billing-api",
"env": "prod"
}
}
Good use cases
- Internal deployment checks.
- Custom SLO burn-rate automation.
- Legacy monitoring tools that can post JSON.
- Operational scripts that need on-call escalation.
