Incoming Webhooks for a Custom Integration

Before you begin

Security Cloud Control does not format messages for custom integration. If you opt to integrate a custom service or application, Security Cloud Control sends a JSON message.

Refer to the service's documentation on how to enable incoming webhooks and generate a webhook URL. Once you have a webhook URL, use the procedure below to enable webhooks:

Procedure

1	Generate and copy the webhook URL from the custom service or application of your choice.
2	Log into Security Cloud Control.
3	In the Security Cloud Control platform menu, choose Products > Firewall.
4	In the left pane, click Administration > Notification Settings.
5	Examine and confirm the notifications that are checked are correct. If they are not, we strongly recommend modifying the notification selection before you connect to a service integration.
6	Scroll to Service Integrations.
7	Click the blue plus button.
8	Enter a Name. This name appears in Security Cloud Control as a configured service integration. It does not appear in any events forwarded to the configured service.
9	Expand the drop-down menu and select Custom as the Service Type.
10	Paste the webhook URL that you generated from the service.
11	Click OK.
