HTTP-JSON delivery methods

Details

HTTP-JSON type delivery methods send alerts to any server configured to receive JSON objects. Alerts are encapsulated as a JSON object and sent using the POST request method over HTTP or HTTPS. If the destination server uses Digest access authentication, you can identify the user and password required for authentication.

You can find below the information required on the New Delivery Method window for this delivery method (for the creation process visit Manage delivery methods).

Name	A unique name that identifies this specific delivery method.
Timezone	This is the time zone that will be used to calculate when alerts can be sent. This will be applied to the schedule defined in any sending policy that uses this delivery method.
URL	The URL of the server to which the alerts should be sent.
Language	The language in which to send the alert content.
Authenticated	Mark this checkbox if you want to use digest access authentication with the destination server.
Authenticated	User and Password	When selected, these fields are activated so that you can enter the keys for authentication.

Activation

The new method is saved in Pending status.

An HTTP test message with a code is sent to the URL specified in the delivery method. This activation code must be validated on the server side before the delivery method can be used.
