# Integrate Spike with Email

## Where to use email integration?

Many tools like DigitalOcean, Pulseway etc do not support webhooks as alert channels. In this case, you can choose to create an Email integration with Spike.sh to get incidents and relevant alerts.

## How does email integration with Spike.sh work?

Select Email from our list of integrations and use the uniquely generated email address on any tool of your choice. The emails received are managed by us for your integration. There is no inbox :)

{% hint style="info" %}
The subject line will be the incident title and the body of email will go into incident details.
{% endhint %}

### How to create an email integration?

#### Step 1

From the header > click [Add integration](https://app.spike.sh/integrations/new) and select **email**, give it an appropriate name create the integration.

#### Step 2

Copy the Email from the integration page.

### Example -

![](/files/-MV1kapUOPvOqBgWGaON)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Email integration does not auto-resolve incidents and there is a 30 MB payload limit.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.spike.sh/integrations-guideline/integrate-spike-with-email.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
