Send SQL alert emails to on-call team channel

Automatically monitor new inbound email alerts across Email by Zapier and Teams. Automatically post Adaptive Card notifications when SQL alert emails arrive, when subjects match alert topics, or when duplicate alerts appearβ€”so you can prioritize triage quickly, reduce alert noise, and update on-call visibility without manual reporting.

How this automation prioritizes on-call alerts

When a new SQL alert email arrives, delays can slow incident triage and increase risk across operations. This automation parses the inbound alert, formats an Adaptive Card, and posts it to your Teams channelβ€”so your team can respond quickly without manually copying messages.

  1. 1.Catches inbound SQL alert emails

    Integrate Email by Zapier and inbound email routing to catch each new alert message and expose email body and metadata for mapping.
