   3. "Notification Target ID JsonPath Locator" -> $.target_id

   4. Enable (if you want Auto Resolve)

      1. "locate the identifier" -> $.external_id

      3. "what the field" -> resolved

1. In the Webhook URL (Image 3), paste the value you grabbed in 5.2 after this URL:

https://webhooks.rootly.com/webhooks/incoming/generic_webhooks?secret=TOKEN

1. For the Targets, it's optional. You will need to fill this field if you want to Page someone.

2. Choose the Target Type. It's available by "Service", "Team" or "Escalation Policy".

3. Grab the UUID in Rootly for the Service/Team/Escalation Policy you want.

4. Click Save Changes

And it's done. When an outage starts, we will create an alert in Rootly and close it when the vendor closes the status update.
