Frequently Asked Questions about New Relic + Slack integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with New Relic and Slack
How do I configure alerts in New Relic to trigger notifications in Slack?
To configure alerts, you can set up alert policies in New Relic and integrate them with Slack using webhooks. Navigate to the Alerts & AI section in New Relic, create or select a policy, and add a Slack webhook channel as a notification destination. Once configured, any triggered alert will send notifications directly to your Slack channel.
Can I customize which alerts are sent from New Relic to Slack?
Absolutely. In New Relic, you can tailor alert conditions within your policies to define exactly what triggers should send notifications. This granular control ensures that only specific alerts are forwarded to your Slack channel based on the criteria you've set.
What should I do if alerts from New Relic aren’t showing up in my Slack channel?
If alerts aren't appearing, first check the webhook URL configuration within both New Relic and Slack. Ensure that the integration is correctly set up with the proper permissions and channels. Additionally, verify that there are active conditions triggering within your alert policy.
Is it possible to automatically stop alert notifications during non-business hours?
Yes, you can configure different notification channels or incident preferences in New Relic based on schedules using muting rules or by setting maintenance windows. These configurations allow you to pause alerting outside business hours while keeping logs intact for review.
Do we support direct actions from Slack when an alert is received?
Currently, our integration focuses on sending notifications from New Relic to Slack when an alert is triggered. Direct actions would need additional configuration using tools such as Zapier or custom integrations leveraging APIs for bi-directional communication.
How can I test if my New Relic and Slack integration is working properly?
To test your integration, create a test policy or modify an existing one with easily triggerable conditions (like CPU usage for testing purposes) in New Relic's Alerts & AI section and monitor if those trigger messages appear in your chosen Slack channel.
Are there any limits on the number of notifications sent from New Relic to Slack?
There isn't a hard limit imposed by us on notifications sent through our webhook integration; however, be mindful of potential rate limits imposed by either platform especially if you're configuring multiple high-frequency alerts.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
