AlertFlow Documentation

MSP-grade alert routing, escalation, and on-call management — from any monitoring tool to the right person in seconds.

What is AlertFlow?

AlertFlow is a centralized alert management platform built for Managed Service Providers. It ingests alerts from every tool in your stack — RMM, PSA, monitoring platforms, custom scripts — and routes them to the right person through the right channel using intelligent, no-code workflows.

Key Concepts

Integrations

An integration is a connection between AlertFlow and a monitoring source. Each integration gets a unique ingest token. AlertFlow parses the raw payload from your tool and normalizes it into a structured alert — title, severity, client name, labels — using configurable field mappings.

Alerts

An alert is a normalized, structured event: title, severity (critical → info), status (firing / acknowledged / resolved / suppressed), and source metadata. Alerts are deduplicated by fingerprint — repeated identical alerts increment a counter instead of creating noise.

Incidents

Related firing alerts are grouped into an incident. The incident tracks the escalation state, the assigned engineer, and the full notification history. Resolving all alerts in an incident closes the incident automatically.

Workflows

A workflow is a visual automation that fires on alert or incident events. It can notify channels, create tickets, apply suppression, reassign incidents, call webhooks, and more — all with conditional branching and time-based escalation.

On-Call Schedules

A schedule defines a rotation of team members using layers and overrides. The on-call engineer at the time of an alert is automatically notified unless the alert is suppressed or silenced.
