statuspage.io integration?

[geekdave]

Is it possible to integrate zulip with statuspage.io, both for

1. subscribing to receive updates in zulip from a status page
2. posting an update from zulip to a status page

[timabbott]

Can you explain more what you have in mind for how to integrate Zulip with it?

Should be doable with our incoming and outgoing webhooks, how much work it is depends mostly on their API.

Hello @zulip/server-bots, @zulip/server-integrations members, this issue was labeled with the area: bots, area: integrations labels, so you may want to check it out!

@timabbott Sure! I guess it would be pretty similar to PagerDuty, where you would receive a Zulip message when an incident is created. And you could use a Zulip command to trigger an incident to get created yourself. Except whereas Pagerduty is only an internal tool, statuspage.io is intended to be subscribed to by your customers. So you could subscribe to get updates from someone's status page, like you could subscribe to get zulip updates from a twitter feed. Hope that makes sense!

Cool. @geekdave is this something you're interested in working on? zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integration-guide.html covers in the incoming-to-Zulip webhook side, which should be quite easy with their API. The second half should use our brand new outgoing webhooks; I'd recommend doing that after the incoming part is all done though :)

@geekdave @timabbott As for implementing 1st part, i guess the fixtures we need for incoming webhook should be extracted from this page : https://doers.statuspage.io/ as they have api endpoints for incidents, subscribers, metrics, users etc.. am i thinking it right..???

[Rishabh570]

Okay as i took a deep look inside statuspage i came to know that statuspage sends notifications to its subscribers via webhook only in two scenarios :

1. Incident creation & updation and
2. Component's status update .
   So basically we need to handle these two cases only...

@timabbott @geekdave here is the test output

Uppermost output is when an incident is created, middle one when that incident is updated and bottom most output when a component's state gets changed...

Is it okay ...am i missing something.

[geekdave]

I'm no longer actively using Zulip, so I won't be in a position to test this feature. But the above output looks like exactly what I had in mind earlier this year! Thanks!

Incoming webhook part of statuspage.io is done...

[timabbott]

Yeah, I'm going to close this as complete; the incoming webhook is much of the value here.
