On Alert Resolved runs when someone marks a monitoring alert of the type you choose as resolved. Use it to close the matching ticket in your own system, tell the team an SOS is handled, or log who resolved it and how. The event belongs to the Alert group, with On Alert Created. Both share the same alert types, actions and fields; this page covers what is different.
Required permission:
  • View automation
  • Create automation

Constraints

  1. One alert type per automation. Pick it in Alert type, from the same eight types as On Alert Created.
  2. Three actions. Create Task, Webhook and Notification by Email.
  3. No rules. The alert type is the automation’s only scope.
  4. Saved in an automation group. Alert events are set up on the automation group canvas. They can’t be created through POST /automation.

When it runs

  1. Someone resolves the alert in Monitoring › Alert or on the Tracking page, optionally with a note.
  2. Every active automation whose Alert type matches the alert’s code runs its action.
It runs once per alert, when the alert first becomes resolved. Like On Alert Created, it does not run for repeated alerts or for alerts raised by an automation’s Alert action.

Set it up

  1. Open Workflow › Automation and create or open an automation group.
  2. In Add first step, under Alert, pick On Alert Resolved.
  3. Alert type: required. Pick the one type to watch, for example SOS: Panic.
  4. Click + under the trigger, pick Create Task, Webhook or Notification, and fill it in as described for On Alert Created.
  5. Click Save, and switch the group on.

Alert fields

Every field of On Alert Created, including the type’s own data fields, plus who resolved the alert:

Webhook payload

An example for SOS: Panic:
A failed webhook is tried up to four times. Your endpoint must answer with HTTP 200.

Troubleshooting

The event never runs.
  • Check that the automation group is switched on and the trigger’s Alert type matches the resolved alert.
  • The alert was already resolved before the automation was switched on. The event runs only at the moment an alert becomes resolved.
Resolution Notes is empty. The person who resolved the alert left the note blank.

Questions

Does it run again if an alert is resolved twice? No. It runs when the alert first becomes resolved. Can I use one automation for both created and resolved? No. Add one trigger for On Alert Created and one for On Alert Resolved; they can sit in the same automation group.
