Hey Everyone,
Can anyone please tell if there's a way to create a case for an alert automatically. So that we dont have to do it manually.
Thanks

Hi @subham No, there is not currently a simple way to create a case automatically when an alert is created. This is a capability we are looking into for potential future implementation.
Would you mind telling us a bit more about how you would use such a capability.
- Would it be for a single alert?
- Would you want to aggregate (group) alerts together into a case? If so, how might you group them?
- Would you want the ability to add to an existing alert (for example, if a similar alert caused a case to be created recently?)
Thank you,
Mike P.

Theoretically you can use the "actions" with a webhook to create a case using the cases api.
How well this suits you depends on your requirements.
