**Methods of Configuration Notifications**
**POST method:**
* This method is used if the user wants to define the payload.
* From the URL drop-down menu choose the POST method option.
* Fill in all the details: URL, HEADERS, CONTENT TYPE, and PAYLOAD
**For example:**
Let us consider that a user wants to get notified in TEAMS.
Enter details as follows:
URL:POST URL:
1. Content-Type:
Content-type:
Content type: application/JSON
1. Payload:
Payload: (Freeform)
{\
'text' : 'date=$date; format ="yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"$ profile=$profile$ command=$command$ zoneId=$zoneId; default="EST"$ errorCount=$errorCount$'\
}
* The screen will appear as below:
* You can format your calls for multiple parameters.
* The above example: The user required details such as:
date, time, profile, and error.
* There is a specific list of supported expressions that have to be followed for writing the various required parameters in the URL while running the POST method.
* These can be found listed under “Supported Expressions”. Various conditions for these parameters can also be listed.
* Once you enter all parameters Click SAVE
* Click Test Connection and verify the same.
In this manner, the user can define their own Payload and provide the parameters in the standard expressions format with/without conditions to receive the respective POST notifications in their communication channel.
* #### Supported Expressions:
| Option | Expression | Notes |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Current date | $date; format=”dateformat”$ | Format is an optional attribute. However, it is recommended to add one.
Do NOT escape quotes in date format as it can lead to errors.
|
| Current event | $event$ | Values: Started, Errored or Completed |
| Error count | $errorCount$ | Denotes the number of objects that encountered an error |
| Is error in the backup | $isError$ | Values: true if the event is errored else false |
| Profile Name | $profile$ |
|
| Total records processed | $recordsProcessed$ | Total number of records processed ie. inserted + updated for all objects |
| Command | $command$ | Provides a clear representation of the command that has been executed. |
| Zone ID | $ZoneId$ | Shows the Time zone selected |
#### Using Conditions:
If else conditions are supported, however, we need to specify a boolean variable from the supported list for conditions:
Syntax:
$if(variable1)$value1$elseif(variable2)$value2$else$value3$endif$
**Example**
$if(isError)$$errorCount$$else$0$endif$
* Once All the steps are done you can Go to the team/channel selected to receive the notification and see if the notification is activated and received on the same as shown below\
