In order to trigger when emails are opened, this must be paired with a separate Zap using the **Send Outbound Email** action, with the **Enable Read Receipts?** field set to `True`.

To test with a live email, send an email to yourself using your **Send Outbound Email** action (with read receipts enabled) and open it, then test this trigger immediately for samples. If you don't need to test with live data, click Skip Test to use static test data.

**Trial or Free Zapier plan:**

Email by Zapier

ExternalID: The external ID of the alert to be resolved (closed).

The alert text to be sent to the SIGNL4 team.

Service: Assigns the Signl to the service/system category with the specified name.

Location: Transmit location information ('latitude, longitude') with your event and display a map in the mobile app.

AlertingScenario: Pass 'single_ack' if only one persons needs to confirm this Signl. Pass 'multi_ack' in case this alert must be confirmed by the number of people who are on duty at the time this Singl is raised.

Filtering: Specify a boolean value of true or false to apply event filtering for this event, or not. If set to true, the event will only trigger a notification to the team, if it contains at least one keyword from one of your services and system categories (i.e. it is whitelisted).

ExternalID: If the event originates from a record in a 3rd party system, use this parameter to pass the unique ID of that record. That ID will be communicated in outbound webhook notifications from SIGNL4, which is great for correlation/synchronization of that record with the Signl.

SIGNL4 is a mobile alert notification app with tracking and escalation to reliably inform teams about alerts and incidents.
