# FortiSOAR Integration
Set up a FortiSOAR connector to send alerts to ilert and automate incident workflows.
Integrating [FortiSOAR](https://www.fortinet.com/products/fortisoar) with ilert enables automated alerting and incident response by sending alert events from FortiSOAR to ilert. This integration helps streamline your security operations and reduces mean time to respond (MTTR) by linking playbook-based automation with ilert's alert management platform.
## In ilert: Create a FortiSOAR alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **FortiSOAR**, 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.
