​
Overview

Pulses represent service changes such as deploys, build completion, configuration updates, etc., providing contextual information that is critical during incident triage or hypercare. They can be sent via specific integrations or our cli, and they do not create alerts, incidents or notifications.

​
API

You can create pulses through our API directly with curl for example:
Linux
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your token>" \
--data '{"data": { "attributes": { "summary": "Something changed!" } } }' -X POST https://api.rootly.com/v1/pulses

​
CLI

Or run a command
