# Stride Integration Guide

Stride is the complete communication solution that empowers teams to talk less and do more. This document explains how to integrate Catchpoint with Stride. We will be using Catchpoint’s Alert Webhook API to send data to Stride whenever an alert is triggered in Catchpoint.

## **Stride Features**

- A new take on team chat from the team behind Hipchat, Jira, and Trello.
- Chat in groups and privately.
- Make voice and video calls with screen sharing right from your chat.
- Add tasks that can be checked off from tasks, and mark completed decisions to help your team reference the results of your discussions.
- Use Focus mode to keep distractions away when you're busy.

## ## **Catchpoint Integration**

Catchpoint’s Alert Webhook allows integrating Catchpoint with other tools by pushing data when an alert is triggered. Any tool that supports communication over HTTP/HTTPS can be integrated with Catchpoint. The data sent from Catchpoint, can be customized to meet the required messaging format. This is done by creating a template and using macros. If a template needs modification, please contact Catchpoint Support. We are happy to assist you in creating a template and meeting your requirements.

Below, you will find integration guide on setting up and customizing templates.

## **Alert Macro Usage:**

When creating the template, you must use valid JSON data. For the name-value pair, some values might be static and some will be generated dynamically. To get the dynamic values, you can use macros. The macros will use the following syntax: `${macroName}`

Example:

```
{
    "body": {
        "version": 1,
        "type": "doc",
        "content": [{
                "type": "paragraph",
                "content": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "description: "
                    }, {
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "${switch(" $ {
                            notificationLevelId
                        }
                        "," 0 "," WARNING "," 1 "," CRITICAL "," 3 "," OK ")}"
                    }
                ]
            }, {
                "type": "paragraph",
                "content": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "Product ID: "
                    }, {
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "${productId}"
                    }
                ]
            }, {
                "type": "paragraph",
                "content": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "client_url: "
                    }, {
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "${testUrl}"
                    }
                ]
            }, {
                "type": "paragraph",
                "content": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "details: "
                    }, {
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": "${nodeDetails(" $ {
                            nodeName
                        }
                        ")}"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}
```
