# Create notification endpoints

To send notifications about changes in your data, start by creating a notification endpoint to a third-party service. After creating notification endpoints, [create notification rules](/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/notification-rules/create) to send alerts to third-party services on [check statuses](/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/checks/create).

#### Endpoints available in InfluxDB Cloud

The following endpoints are available for the InfluxDB Cloud Free Plan and Usage-based Plan:

| Endpoint | Free Plan | Usage-based Plan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Slack |  |  |
| PagerDuty |  |  |
| HTTP |  |  |

## Create a notification endpoint

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select **Alerts > Alerts**.
    
    Alerts
    
2. Select **Notification Endpoints**.
    
3. Click **Create**.
    
4. From the **Destination** drop-down list, select a destination endpoint to send notifications to. *See [available endpoints](#endpoints-available-in-influxdb-cloud).*
    
5. In the **Name** and **Description** fields, enter a name and description for the endpoint.
    
6. Enter information to connect to the endpoint:
    
    -   **For HTTP**, enter the **URL** to send the notification. Select the **auth method** to use: **None** for no authentication. To authenticate with a username and password, select **Basic** and then enter credentials in the **Username** and **Password** fields. To authenticate with an API token, select **Bearer**, and then enter the API token in the **Token** field.
        
    -   **For Slack**, create an [Incoming WebHook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks#posting_with_webhooks) in Slack, and then enter your webHook URL in the **Slack Incoming WebHook URL** field.
        
    -   **For PagerDuty**:
        
        -   [Create a new service](https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/services-and-integrations#section-create-a-new-service), [add an integration for your service](https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/services-and-integrations#section-add-integrations-to-an-existing-service), and then enter the PagerDuty integration key for your new service in the **Routing Key** field.
            
        -   The **Client URL** provides a useful link in your PagerDuty notification. Enter any URL that you’d like to use to investigate issues. This URL is sent as the `client_url` property in the PagerDuty trigger event. By default, the **Client URL** is set to your Monitoring & Alerting History page, and the following included in the PagerDuty trigger event:
            
            ```json
            { "client_url": "http://localhost:8086/orgs/<your-org-ID>/alert-history" }
            ```
            
7. Click **Create Notification Endpoint**.
