What does Opsgenie offer ConnectWise Automate users?

Use Opsgenie’s ConnectWise Automate Integration to forward ConnectWise Automate's alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

  • When an alert is created in ConnectWise Automate, it creates an alert in Opsgenie.
  • When the alert is closed in ConnectWise Automate, the Opsgenie alert is closed as well.
