Using Metlo’s Webhook Integration, you can add webhooks you would like us to send data to whenever an alert is triggered. To view your integrations and add webhooks, go to the Settings page and click on the Integrations tab. On the Integrations tab, you can add, delete, and view webhooks you have previously created. Metlo will send a POST request with the alert payload to the urls you define for your webhooks. By default, the requests will be triggered for each type of alert that is created. The alert payload will follow this format (Payload is the data that is sent, the rest of the definitions showcase what the data we send looks like):
JSON
Payload {
  "alert": Alert,
  "meta": {
    "host": string,
    "totalEndpoints": number,
    "totalSensitiveEndpoints": number,
  }
}

​
Context

The context object contains any extra data related to that specific alert.

​
RiskScore

The RiskScore defines the score given to that alert based on its risk and is equal to one of the following values: high, medium, low, none.

​
AlertType

The AlertType is a string which defines the specific type of the alert and can be one of a certain number of values as defined above.

​
ApiEndpoint

The apiEndpoint field contains the endpoint info for which the alert was triggered.

​
DataField

The dataFields field contains a list of the fields that belong to an endpoint. These fields can belong to any part of an endpoint such as its request body and headers or response body and headers.

​
DataClass

Each DataField has a list of sensitive data classes which are identified for it. The dataClasses field contains the current sensitive data classes which are tagged for thatDataField. The falsePositives field contains any classes that were identified by a user as a false positive. The scannerIdentified field contains all the sensitive data classes that were identified by Metlo. The list of data classes could include any Metlo defined or User defined(via Metlo Config) Sensitive Data Classes.

​
DataSection

Each DataField belongs to a DataSection which can be in the request path parameters, request query parameters, request headers, request body, response headers, or response body.

​
DataType

Each DataField has a dataType field which defines the type of the values of that DataField.

​
DataTag

Each DataField either has a value for the dataTag field or has null if there is no tag for that field. For example, a DataField which contains sensitive information will have a dataTag with value of PII.

​
DataPath

Each DataField has a value for the dataPath field which defines the path to the DataField in the payload. For example, if the response body of an endpoint is as defined below, then there would be two DataField items and each would have a distinct dataPath which would be foo.bar and foo.baz:
JSON
{
  "foo": {
    "bar": 123,
    "baz": true
  }
}
If instead the response body was just a plain string, then the dataPath would just be an empty string "".
