Receive Zulip notifications from UptimeRobot!

1. {!create-stream.md!}

2. {!create-a-bot-indented.md!}

   Construct the URL for the {{ integration_display_name }} bot using the bot's API key and the desired stream name:

   {{ api_url }}{{ integration_url }}?api_key=abcdefgh&stream=stream%20name&

   Modify the parameters of the URL above, where api_key is the API key of your Zulip bot, and stream is the URL-encoded stream name you want the notifications sent to. If you do not specify a stream, the bot will send notifications via PMs to the creator of the bot.

3. On UptimeRobot, go to My Settings and select Add Alert Contact. Set Alert Contact Type to webhook.

4. Set Friendly Name to a name of your choice, such as Zulip. Set URL to notify to the URL constructed above. Under POST Value (JSON Format), select Send as JSON (application/json).

5. Set POST Value(JSON Format) to:

   {
      "monitor_url":"*monitorURL*",
      "monitor_friendly_name":"*monitorFriendlyName*",
      "alert_type":"*alertType*",
      "alert_type_friendly_name":"*alertTypeFriendlyName*",
      "alert_details":"*alertDetails*",
      "alert_friendly_duration":"*alertFriendlyDuration*"
   }
   

6. Set Enable Notifications For to whichever events you want to notify on. Save the form.
