Hello team,  
I have creates one alert and I used below API to forcefully excute it.

Also state is not changing from state" : "awaits\_successful\_execution" to "ack"

```auto
POST _watcher/watch/07342ab5-b6ee-4086-97b6-8a9eb17f3994/_execute

```

Now it is triggereing mail every 5 min. Also state is not changing from state" : "awaits\_successful\_execution" to "ack"

Please do not ping folks directly. Everyone can decide by her/himself if they want to help out.

Check the `record_execution` option in the execute watch API to understand why the state is not changed: [Execute watch API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/watcher-api-execute-watch.html)
