description: >-
  Kentik does not publish an AsyncAPI document, but it delivers outbound events
  through Notification Channels attached to alert policies. A webhook (custom
  webhook) is one of the supported channel types, so alert / mitigation events
  can be pushed to an external HTTPS endpoint with a customizable JSON payload.

  notes: >-
    Custom Webhook notification templates let you shape the JSON body Kentik POSTs
    to your endpoint. Channels are created/managed via the Notification Channel
    API (ListNotificationChannels, SearchNotificationChannels,
    GetNotificationChannel) and bound to Alert Policies.
triggers:
- alert policy state changes (flow, BGP, NMS, synthetics)
