The SIGNL4 integration is available as an Actor in Apify.
Sending automated alerts from Apify has several benefits. Users can react to critical situations quickly and to take according action. Here come some sample use cases:

Send alerts
You can trigger an alert using a webhook from another Actor, e.g. when the Actor reaches a certain state. You obtain the webhook URL of the SIGNL4 Actor at API -> API endpoints. The Payload template might look like follows:
{
"userId": {{userId}},
"createdAt": {{createdAt}},
"eventType": {{eventType}},
"eventData": {{eventData}},
"resource": {{resource}},
"secret": "your-signl4-team-or-integration-secret",
"title": "Web Scraper Alert from Apify",
"data": {{eventData}}
}
Alternatively, you can trigger the alert within the code of another Actor like this:
import { Actor } from 'apify';
await Actor.init();
// Send SIGNL4 alert
await Actor.call('roncz/signl4', {
secret: 'your-signl4-team-or-integration-secret',
title: 'Web Scraper Alert from Apify',
message: "Web scraper content available.",
data: headingObject
});
await Actor.exit();

ALERT OPTIMIZATION
SIGNL4 can further increase the visibility of alerts through its Signals and Services section. Augmenting the color and icon of alerts will provide more relevant information at a glance without having to open the alert.
