# Azure DevOps Integration

Connecting [Azure DevOps](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/devops) to ilert helps your team turn critical DevOps signals into actionable alerts. With service hooks, you can trigger ilert alerts from events like work item changes, code pushes, builds, and releases – reducing MTTA by notifying the right on-call responders instantly.
