**Hi, guys**  
**I'd like to know if it's possible to make a watcher where I send a HTTP request and execute the API REST: POST, every time another alert is activated in 'firing'? make like an 'automatic acked' since inside it you can't, but I need that every time the alert is in 'firing', activate the API and return to 'acked' status so that it doesn't send more mails, any idea of how to do it? thanks**

this is ack watch api:

```auto
POST _watcher/watch/<watch_id>/_ack/<action_id>

```
