# PagerDuty

Elementary's PagerDuty integration enables sending alerts when data issues happen.

It is recommended to create [alert rules](https://docs.elementary-data.com/cloud/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules.md) to filter and select the alerts that will create incidents in PagerDuty.

4. `PagerDuty` will now be available as a destination on the [`alert rules`](https://docs.elementary-data.com/cloud/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules) page. You can add rules to create PagerDuty incidents out of alerts who match your rule.
