We would like to use the watcher feature that is part of commercial plugin in x-pack.  
After exploring the details from docs, we would like to get help on how to call an action that is REST API in the watcher configuration?  
scenario: we would like to get alert based on **condition** when AD group name changes on service repo and would like to use **action** to call a REST API to set the AD group to be default for the service.
