* Add this newly created Notificaion handler to any of the monitors and you will get Up/Down notifications for that monitor in Squadcast.

That's it, you are good to go! Your Squadcast integration is now complete.

Whenever Hydrozen.io fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Once the tool sends an **OK** alert, it will automatically be resolved in Squadcast as well.
