====Signl4 Event Notifications====

===Signing Up===

Visit https://www.signl4.com/ and sign up for a trial account (if you don't have one already).

In the menu on the right, to go **Integrations** and choose **Installed** from the options at the top of the page.

Pick **Inbound Webhook** and copy the last section from the URL shown. For instance, if the URL says....

<code>
https://connect.signl4.com/webhook/abcd
</code>

...you would want to copy 'abcd'.

This is your **secret** that you'll need in the next step.

===Adding Notification===

There are two ways of setting up Signl4.

You can have alerts that stay active in the system until they are acknowledged by staff, or alerts that automatically close themselves once the alarm condition stops.

===Method 1: Always Require Acknowledgement===

On URL: <code>signl4://{secret}?alerting_scenario=single_ack&external_id={id}&status=new</code>

===Method 2: Auto Acknowledge===

On URL: <code>signl4://{secret}?alerting_scenario=single_ack&external_id={id}&status=new</code>
Off URL: <code>signl4://{secret}?alerting_scenario=single_ack&external_id={id}&status=resolved</code>

===Notes===

The key here is the //status// value. By giving an external_id parameter that is unique to each ARDI alert and a status of **new** when the alert is raised, the alert gets created in Signl4.

In the second solution, when the alert condition stops, a notification is sent that **resolves** the alert, closing it off.
