Create an escalation policy

shell
curl "{{API_URL}}/api/v1/escalation_policies/" \
  --request POST \
  --header "Authorization: meowmeowmeow" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
      "escalation_chain_id": "F5JU6KJET33FE",
      "type": "wait",
      "duration": 60
  }'

The above command returns JSON structured in the following way:

json
{
    "id": "E3GA6SJETWWJS",
    "escalation_chain_id": "F5JU6KJET33FE",
    "position": 0,
    "type": "wait",
    "duration": 60
}
ParameterRequiredDescription
escalation_chain_idYesEach escalation policy is assigned to a specific escalation chain.
positionOptionalEscalation policies execute one after another starting from position=0. Position=-1 will put the escalation policy to the end of the list. A new escalation policy created with a position of an existing escalation policy will move the old one (and all following) down in the list.
typeYesOne of: wait, notify_persons, notify_person_next_each_time, notify_on_call_from_schedule, notify_user_group, trigger_action, resolve, notify_whole_channel, notify_if_time_from_to.
durationOptionalThe duration, in seconds, when type wait is chosen.
importantOptionalDefault is false. Will assign “important” to personal notification rules if true. This can be used to distinguish alerts on which you want to be notified immediately by phone. Applicable for types notify_persons, notify_on_call_from_schedule, and notify_user_group.
action_to_triggerIf type = trigger_actionID of an action, or webhook.

persons_to_notify_next_each_timeIf type = notify_person_next_each_timeList of user IDs.
notify_on_call _from_scheduleIf type = notify_on_call_from_scheduleID of a Schedule.
notify_if_time_fromIf type = notify_if_time_from_toUTC time represents the beginning of the time period, for example 09:00:00Z.
notify_if_time_toIf type = notify_if_time_from_toUTC time represents the end of the time period, for example 18:00:00Z.
