Signl4 actions available in n8n
01 Action 01Send Alert
This action lets you programmatically send an alert to your Signl4 team, triggering immediate mobile notifications to all on-duty personnel. It's the core action for connecting any event source in n8n to your incident response workflow.
Key parameters:
- Credential to connect with: A required dropdown where you select your pre-configured SIGNL4 Webhook account. This authenticates the action and determines which Signl4 team receives the alert.
- Resource: A required dropdown set to "Alert", defining that this action interacts with Signl4's alert system.
- Operation: A required dropdown set to "Send", indicating this action will create and dispatch a new alert.
- Message: An optional text field where you enter the main content of your alert. This is what your team members will see on their mobile devices—make it clear and actionable.
- Additional Fields: An optional expandable section where you can add custom properties to enrich your alert data. Use this to include incident severity, affected system, runbook links, or any contextual information your team needs.
Practical use cases:
- Send an alert when a website health check fails in your monitoring workflow
- Notify your DevOps team when a database query returns critical error logs
- Trigger an alert from a webhook received from an external system like Datadog or Grafana
- Alert on-call staff when a Discord message contains a specific keyword indicating an emergency
02 Action 02Resolve Alert
This action allows you to automatically close or resolve an existing Signl4 alert. It's essential for creating complete incident lifecycle automation—where alerts are not only triggered but also resolved when conditions improve.
Key parameters:
- Credential to connect with: A required dropdown to select your SIGNL4 Webhook account credential. The same credential used to send alerts should be used here.
- Resource: A required dropdown set to "Alert", confirming this action operates on Signl4 alerts.
- Operation: A required dropdown set to "Resolve", indicating this action will mark an alert as resolved in Signl4.
- External ID: An optional text field used to target a specific alert for resolution. If you assigned an external ID when sending the original alert (like a ticket number or incident UUID), providing it here ensures the correct alert is resolved.
Practical use cases:
- Auto-resolve an alert when your health check returns to a healthy state
- Close Signl4 alerts when a corresponding Jira ticket is marked as resolved
- Resolve incidents when a manual acknowledgment is received via a form or Slack reaction
- Batch-resolve old alerts based on a scheduled cleanup workflow
💡 TIP: Always use a consistent External ID pattern when sending alerts (e.g.,
incident-{{$node.trigger.json.id}}). This makes it trivial to resolve the exact alert later without any ambiguity.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Signl4 n8n integration free?
The n8n integration itself is completely free—Signl4 is a native node included in n8n's open-source and cloud versions. However, you'll need an active Signl4 subscription to receive alerts on your team's mobile devices. Signl4 offers different pricing tiers based on team size and features. For n8n, if you're self-hosting, it's free; n8n Cloud has its own pricing based on workflow executions. The combination is extremely cost-effective for teams already using both platforms.Can I include custom data in my Signl4 alerts from n8n?
Absolutely. The "Send Alert" action includes an "Additional Fields" section where you can add any custom properties to your alert payload. This means you can attach severity levels, system names, timestamps, error codes, direct links to dashboards, or even structured JSON data. Your on-call team sees this information directly on their mobile devices, giving them immediate context without needing to dig through logs. Use n8n expressions to dynamically populate these fields from upstream nodes.How long does it take to set up the Signl4 n8n integration?
Most users get their first automated alert working in under 10 minutes. The setup involves three steps: creating your Signl4 webhook credential in n8n (2 minutes), adding a Signl4 node to your workflow (1 minute), and configuring the alert message and any additional fields (5 minutes). If you already have a trigger node set up—like a webhook or schedule—connecting it to Signl4 is nearly instant. The simplicity of webhook-based authentication means there's no complex OAuth flow to navigate.
