Function Automate

Target Audience

- Developers: Those looking to automate alerts and notifications through webhooks.
- Project Managers: Individuals managing projects using Notion and needing real-time updates.
- Operations Teams: Teams that require monitoring of system statuses and alerts.

- Integrators: Professionals integrating various tools and platforms for seamless workflows.

Problem Solved

This workflow automates the process of tracking and updating alert statuses in Notion based on incoming webhook notifications. It addresses the challenge of managing alerts in real-time, ensuring that teams are promptly informed about system statuses, such as New Alerts, Acknowledged, Closed, and No one on duty. By integrating with Notion, it allows for organized documentation of alerts and user interactions, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

Workflow Steps

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow begins with a webhook that listens for incoming POST requests containing alert data.
2. Function Node: The first function processes the incoming data, determining the alert type (e.g., New Alert, Acknowledged, Closed) based on the statusCode and eventType from the webhook payload.
3. Notion Update: The determined status is then used to update a specified Notion page with relevant information about the alert.
4. Interval Node: This node periodically checks for new alerts and open alerts in Notion every 20 minutes.
5. Notion Read Open & New: These nodes retrieve alerts that are currently open or new, filtering based on their status.
6. SIGNL4 Alerts: For each new or open alert, a notification is sent to SIGNL4, ensuring that the operations team is aware of the current system status.
7. Notion Update Read: Once an alert is acknowledged or resolved, the corresponding Notion page is updated to reflect that it has been read.
8. Final Updates: The workflow ensures that all relevant pages in Notion are updated accordingly, maintaining accurate records of alert statuses and user interactions.

Customization Guide

- Webhook Configuration: Users can modify the webhook URL and parameters to fit their specific alert system requirements.
- Alert Types: Adjust the conditions in the function node to add or change how different alert types are categorized based on incoming data.
- Notion Database ID: Change the databaseId in the Notion nodes to connect to a different Notion database if needed.
- Interval Timing: Modify the interval duration in the Interval node to change how frequently the workflow checks for new alerts.
- SIGNL4 Notifications: Customize the message format and additional fields in the SIGNL4 nodes to include more context or different information as required.
