Every scan of a routed code becomes an Opsgenie alert — created directly through the alerts API, with the full context in the description: what was scanned, where it points, when, from what device. Your team routing rules, escalations and notification policies decide who gets woken; the analytics keep the record.
Opsgenie's alerts API is the front door, and xengo walks straight through it — GenieKey-authenticated requests to the v2 alerts endpoint. No connector to configure, no forwarding rules, nothing to host.
In Opsgenie: Settings → Integrations → add an API integration, assigned to the team that should own these alerts. Copy the API key it gives you.
Console → Notifications → Add channel → Opsgenie. Paste the key into the API key field, save — then hit Send test and watch the alert appear in the team's alert list.
Attach the channel to the specific links and QR codes that matter — the asset tags, the restricted-access signage. Channels are chosen per link, so only the codes you tick can raise alerts.
xengo's QR codes are dynamic — the printed code stays fixed while the destination stays editable. Stick one on a cabinet, a checkpoint or a tamper seal, route it to Opsgenie, and every scan raises an alert with the code's name and tags attached.
Opsgenie sits on the console's Notifications page with the rest of your channels: send count, last delivery and status at a glance. Pause it during planned works and resume without re-entering the key.
xengo POSTs to Opsgenie's v2 alerts endpoint with GenieKey authentication — the same call your own scripts would make, minus the scripts.
The alert message is a compact headline naming the short link (inside Opsgenie's 130-character message limit); the description carries the rest — title, source, destination, time, device, IP and tags.
xengo creates the alert; Opsgenie's team routing rules, escalations and notification policies decide who is contacted, how, and when it escalates.
xengo doesn't set a priority, so alerts arrive at Opsgenie's default. Use alert policies to promote the codes that should page and demote the ones that shouldn't.
If the API call fails, it retries on a backoff ladder — up to six attempts over roughly 43 minutes — and every attempt is a row in the delivery log with its response code.
The same scan can also fire the signed generic webhook, post to chat or push to a phone — channels stack, they don't compete.
Create an API integration in Opsgenie (assigned to the right team), paste its API key into the xengo console, and hit Send test. There's no xengo entry in Opsgenie's integration catalogue to search for — none is needed; the alerts API and a key are the whole connection.
The message line names the short link that fired. The description carries the context: the link's title, the short URL, whether it was a direct click or a QR scan, the destination, the time (UTC), and — where available — the device, referrer, IP and your custom tags.
No. The request creates the alert with message and description only — no priority, no responders, no Opsgenie tags. That's deliberate: priority and ownership belong in your Opsgenie alert policies and team routing rules, where they apply consistently across every source.
No — it's create-only, and no alias is set, so each scan raises its own alert and nothing is auto-closed. If a burst of scans should collapse into one alert, Opsgenie's own dedup and policies are the right place to express that.
The attempt fails visibly and retries on a backoff ladder: 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, then 15-minute steps — six attempts in total, each one recorded in the delivery log. Email is the only channel we deliberately never retry; Opsgenie isn't it.
