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).

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. | |
