Sync AWS EventBridge alert events to Flashduty via webhook for automated alert noise reduction.

You can obtain an integration push URL through either of these two methods:

Using Private Integration

Choose this simpler option when you don’t need to route alert events to different channels.

Using Shared Integration

Choose this option when you need to route alerts to different channels based on the alert event payload.

  2. AWS EventBridge events only have triggers without recovery states, so events received by Flashduty won’t automatically associate with recovery
