Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with StatusCake
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
What does the integration offer?
Use the StatusCake integration to send alerts to Jira Service Management's API, with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for StatusCake alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in StatusCake, an alert is created automatically in Jira Service Management.
The Jira Service Management alert is closed automatically when StatusCake down alert is cleared.

StatusCake is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
