API Error → Discord Alert → Linear Task → Status Page Update

Set up Datadog monitors for your API endpoints tracking error rates, response times, and availability. Configure thresholds (e.g., error rate >5% for 2 minutes) and set up webhook notifications. Include context like affected endpoints, error types, and geographical regions in the alert payload.

Create a Discord webhook for your development channel. When Datadog triggers an alert, send a formatted message including severity level, affected services, error rate, and direct links to Datadog dashboards. Use Discord's embed formatting for clear, actionable alerts that stand out.

Use Linear's API to automatically create a high-priority task when critical alerts fire. Include alert details, affected systems, and initial investigation steps in the task description. Assign to the on-call engineer and add appropriate labels like 'incident' and 'api-issue' for tracking.

Automatically update your Statuspage (or similar service) to reflect the incident. Create a new incident entry with appropriate severity level and initial description. This keeps customers informed while your team investigates, reducing support ticket volume and maintaining transparency.
