Alert events

Events from alerts on saved questions.

  • Alert Sent (alert) — Fired when an alert sends a question’s results to the StackOne webhook, on its schedule when its condition is met or when someone clicks Send now

Delivery format

Details of how Metabase delivers alerts to StackOne.

  • Each alert send is one JSON request with type set to alert, carrying the question’s ID, name and link, its result columns and rows, and the chart as a base64 PNG image.
  • Metabase doesn’t sign webhook deliveries.
