3. Go to the Pingdom tile and click Configure.
4. Enter a name for the integration and click Copy to add the generated webhook URL to the clipboard. Ensure you save the generated webhook to make it available later in the configuration process. For example, you can save it to a file.
5. Click Save.
6. Log in to your account at https://my.pingdom.com/.
7. Set up the integration:
   1. Select Integrations > Integrations.
   2. Click Add new in the window.
