### Step 4: Add the Payload

Copy the following payload and paste it into Datadog. You can also customize it with any of Datadog’s template variables.

{% hint style="warning" %}
To ensure proper incident management:

1. Include **`$AGGREG_KEY`** – enables automatic resolution.
2. Include **`$ALERT_TRANSITION`** – indicates if the event is triggering or resolving.
   {% endhint %}

```json
{ 
  "body": "$EVENT_MSG",
  "last_updated": "$LAST_UPDATED",
  "event_type": "$EVENT_TYPE",
  "title": "$EVENT_TITLE",
  "date": "$DATE",
  "alert_transition": "$ALERT_TRANSITION",
  "aggreg_key": "$AGGREG_KEY", 
  "org": {
    "id": "$ORG_ID",
    "name": "$ORG_NAME"
  },
  "id": "$ID" 
}
```

2. Click **Notification Rules** → **New Rule**.
3. Select condition:
   * `Declared or Incident attributes are updated`.
4. Configure the conditions as required.
