Amazon EventBridge is an AWS serverless event bus service making it easier to build event-driven applications. It uses events generated from your applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and other AWS services. It delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources to target services like AWS Lambda. You can also set up routing rules to determine the destination where you wish to send the data and build decoupled application architectures.

With the AlertOps ServiceNow integration, you can automatically send updates to stakeholders. Set each update to use the notification channel you choose (email, voice, SMS, mobile app, and chat). Set triggers to send alerts on any condition, such as SLA breaches, status changes or any custom field change. Automatically updates at time points that you set. AlertOps also logs all activities in ServiceNow so you can track everything in one place.

With the AlertOps ServiceNow integration, during a major incident, you can automatically send notifications to targeted groups of users (managers, stakeholders, customer service). Each group can have its own unique status update fields, so you can send contextual information with dynamic updates to each group at regular intervals, and a final message when the incident is resolved. Set each notification to use the notification channel you choose (email, voice, SMS, mobile app, and chat).

Incidents can have a massive impact on your operations, negatively affecting customers, employees, and stakeholders. Preparing in advance is the best way to restore normal service operations as quickly as possible.

We have released another update for Enterprise Alert 9 (version 9.2) which enhances the flood protection mechanism. This will help you to setup scenarios where you do not want the flood protection to be active for every notification channel. Read all details in this article.
