# Ekara integration
Connecting [Ekara](https://ip-label.com/) to ilert helps you turn synthetic checks into actionable alerts and incidents. By sending Ekara alerts to ilert, you keep responders informed about availability and performance events – improving visibility, accelerating root cause analysis, and reducing MTTR.
