Set Up Connectors (For Notifications and Data)

Legacy Documentation
You're viewing legacy documentation for API Fortress (deployed via an on-premises container). To view documentation for the new SaaS version of API Fortress — now known as Sauce Labs API Testing and Monitoring (with Sauce Connect tunnels) — see API Testing on the Sauce Labs Cloud.

Introduction​

Connectors are the way API Fortress integrates with other services and platforms to send data and/or notifications to them. A big benefit is how seamlessly API Fortress can be integrated into your day-to-day operations without disrupting workflows.

There are two levels of notification integrations:

  • Failures Only Sends a notification only when a test failure happens; this is typical for stateless services such as Slack.
  • Send All Sends all events, including successes; this is very handy when the service needs to log everything or alter a state.

Currently Available Connectors​

API Fortress offers a full-featured API as well as webhooks for third-party integrations. Any platform with an API can be integrated with API Fortress. Find our current preconfigured connectors and connectors-in-progress in this list:
