Datadog Triggers

How Datadog triggers work

Triggers let you make changes to your Statsig project from a third-party source. You can create a trigger with a specific action, such as "Disable a feature gate," and Statsig generates a URL that performs that action when called.

You can use triggers with Datadog to toggle a gate on or off based on metric performance. For example, create a trigger that disables a gate and connect it to a Datadog monitor so Statsig automatically disables the feature if it detects a metric regression.

Trigger types

The provider supports gate triggers only.

Creating a trigger

1. On Statsig console, navigate to the integrations tab.
2. Find and open Datadog -> Triggers.
3. Specify the target gate and action, then click Create

   

Connecting to Datadog

1. Copy the trigger URL generated from the previous step.
2. In Datadog, create a new Webhook using that URL. You don't need to change the payload.

   

3. In your Datadog monitor settings, add this webhook as a notification target.
