To send notifications about changes in your data, start by creating a notification endpoint to a third party service. After creating notification endpoints, create notification rules to send alerts to third party services on check statuses.

Create a notification endpoint in the UI

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Alerts.

   {{< nav-icon "alerts" >}}

2. Select Notification Endpoints near to top of the page.

3. Click {{< icon "plus" >}} Create.

4. From the Destination drop-down list, select a destination endpoint to send notifications. The following endpoints are available for the InfluxDB Cloud Free Plan and Usage-based Plan:

   Endpoint	Free Plan	Usage-based Plan
   Slack	{{< icon "check" >}}	{{< icon "check" >}}
   PagerDuty		{{< icon "check" >}}
   HTTP		{{< icon "check" >}}

5. In the Name and Description fields, enter a name and description for the endpoint.

6. Enter enter information to connect to the endpoint:

   • For HTTP, enter the URL to send the notification. Select the auth method to use: None for no authentication. To authenticate with a username and password, select Basic and then enter credentials in the Username and Password fields. To authenticate with a token, select Bearer, and then enter the API token in the Token field.

   • For Slack, create an Incoming WebHook in Slack, and then enter your webHook URL in the Slack Incoming WebHook URL field.

   • For PagerDuty:

     • Create a new service, add an Events API V2 integration for your service, and then enter the PagerDuty integration key for your new service in the Routing Key field.

     • The Client URL provides a useful link in your PagerDuty notification. Enter any URL that you'd like to use to investigate issues. This URL is sent as the client_url property in the PagerDuty trigger event. By default, the Client URL is set to your Monitoring & Alerting History page, and the following included in the PagerDuty trigger event:

       "client_url": "https://cloud2.influxdata.com/orgs/<your-org-ID>/alert-history"
       

7. Click Create Notification Endpoint.
