Escalation Policies HTTP API

Open source

Create an escalation policy

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:

{
  "id": "E3GA6SJETWWJS",
  "escalation_chain_id": "F5JU6KJET33FE",
  "position": 0,
  "type": "wait",
  "duration": 60
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`escalation_chain_id`	Yes	Each escalation policy is assigned to a specific escalation chain.
`position`	Optional	Escalation 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.
`type`	Yes	One 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`.
`duration`	Optional	The duration, in seconds, when type `wait` is chosen.
`important`	Optional	Default 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_trigger`	If type = `trigger_action`	ID of an action, or webhook.
`group_to_notify`	If type = `notify_user_group`	ID of a `User Group`.
`persons_to_notify`	If type = `notify_persons`	List of user IDs.
`persons_to_notify_next_each_time`	If type = `notify_person_next_each_time`	List of user IDs.
`notify_on_call _from_schedule`	If type = `notify_on_call_from_schedule`	ID of a Schedule.
`notify_if_time_from`	If type = `notify_if_time_from_to`	UTC time represents the beginning of the time period, for example `09:00:00Z`.
`notify_if_time_to`	If type = `notify_if_time_from_to`	UTC time represents the end of the time period, for example `18:00:00Z`.
