# Datadog

### Overview

Triggers can be used with Datadog to toggle a gate on or off depending on the performance of a metric.

### Creating a Trigger

1. On Statsig console, navigate to the [integrations](https://console.statsig.com/integrations) tab.
2. Find and open **Datadog** -> **Triggers**.
3. Specify the target gate and action, then click **Create**

### Connecting to Datadog

1. Copy the trigger URL generated from the previous step.
2. In Datadog, create a new [Webhook](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/webhooks) using that URL. (You do not need to make any changes to the payload)
