Integrations
Connect HowlOps to your existing tooling: CI/CD pipelines, ChatOps, on-call management, and more.
GitHub Actions
Pause a monitor during deployments to prevent false alarms:
# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
- name: Pause monitor
run: |
curl -X POST https://api.howlops.com/api/v1/monitors/$MONITOR_ID/pause \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HOWLOPS_API_KEY"
- name: Deploy
run: ./deploy.sh

curl -X POST https://api.howlops.com/api/v1/monitors/$MONITOR_ID/resume \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HOWLOPS_API_KEY"

Custom webhook
Connect any HTTPS endpoint. HowlOps POSTs JSON payloads on incident events:
{
"version": "1",
"event": "monitor.down",
"monitor_name": "API Health",
"url": "https://api.example.com/health",
"details": "HTTP 503 - Service Unavailable",
"timestamp": "2026-01-15T10:30:00Z",
"tenant_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"monitor_id": "7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7",
"heartbeat_id": ""
}
Webhook retries: if your endpoint returns a non-2xx status, HowlOps retries 4 times (immediate attempt, then after 5s, 30s, and 2 minutes). After 4 failed attempts, the delivery is marked as
permanently_failed.Prometheus Alertmanager
Paid On-call
Route Prometheus alerts to HowlOps on-call schedules and escalation policies using the Alertmanageropsgenie_config webhook format. HowlOps is fully compatible with this format, so no custom receiver plugin is needed.
- In HowlOps: go to Integrations → Prometheus Alertmanager and generate an Alertmanager API token.
- Add HowlOps as a receiver in your
alertmanager.yml:
receivers:
- name: howlops
webhook_configs:
- url: 'https://api.howlops.com/api/v1/webhook/alertmanager'
send_resolved: true
http_config:
authorization:
credentials: '<your-alertmanager-token>'
Alertmanager alerts without a
severity label default to warning. Set severity: critical on your Alertmanager rules to ensure those alerts bypass quiet hours and page on-call immediately.See MCP Server docs for programmatic control of HowlOps from AI assistants and CI/CD pipelines.
MCP Server (AI assistants)
Allow AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to manage your HowlOps workspace via the Model Context Protocol. See the MCP Server docs for full setup instructions.
