Comparisons Alerts Webhook

Overview

This document provides a web-hook that can be used as it is or customized, to trigger alerts for Comparison results in Audits or Web Journeys.

Note: SSO users will want to modify several lines to ensure that the link in the email send takes them to the appropriate sub-domain.
