# Apica Integration
Trigger alerts in ilert based on issues or outages detected by Apica
[Apica](https://www.apica.io/) is a data management and observability platform that helps organizations collect, manage, and analyze telemetry data across complex systems. By integrating Apica with ilert, users can automatically trigger alerts based on anomalies or performance issues detected by Apica, ensuring timely alerts and faster incident resolution.
## In ilert: Create a Apica alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **Apica**, click its tile, and click **Next**.
3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click **Next**.
4. Choose who gets notified: select **Use existing escalation policy** and pick a policy, or **Generate new escalation policy** to start with a basic one that notifies you first. Click **Next**.
Pick an existing escalation policy, or generate a basic one without leaving the wizard.
5. Select **Default grouping** and click **Continue setup**. It groups events by the alert key the integration sets; the other [grouping options](/alerting/configure-alerting/alert-sources.md#event-grouping) are easier to judge once events are arriving.
6. The next page shows more settings, such as notification priority and alert templates. Click **Finish setup** for now; you can change them later.
7. On the final page, ilert shows the integration key and URL for this alert source. You will need them later in this guide.
## In Apica: Create an Alert Destination
1. On the top menu bar, navigate to **Integrations -> Alert Destinations -> New Alert Destination**.

3. Enter a **Name** and the in ilert previously created alert source url into the **ilert Webhook URL** field.
4. Now on the top menu bar, click on **Alerts**.
5. Select any Alert for which you want to receive a notification.
6. Click on the **'+'** in the Destinations tab.
7. Now select the previously created **Alert Destination** and click on **Save**.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
