Opsgenie
What is Opsgenie?
Opsgenie is Atlassian’s alerting and incident response platform for routing critical alerts, coordinating responders, managing on-call schedules, and tracking incident activity. It helps DevOps, SRE, IT, and support teams respond quickly to service-impacting events.
With Konnectify, you can connect Opsgenie to the rest of your toolchain to automatically create incidents, update responders, sync users and teams, monitor heartbeats, and keep downstream systems informed when alerts or incidents change.

API & Authentication
API Key authentication
The Opsgenie connector uses API Key authentication. In Konnectify, enter your Opsgenie GenieKey API key and select the correct region: US / Global or EU (Europe). Konnectify uses these credentials to securely call the Opsgenie API on behalf of your workflow.
Your API key should have permissions for the Opsgenie resources you want to automate, such as incidents, alerts, users, teams, schedules, and heartbeats.
API capabilities
- Poll alerts, incidents, and users
- Create and manage incidents
- Manage users, teams, and schedules
- Retrieve on-call participants and timelines
- Create and administer heartbeats
Required connection fields
- API Key: your Opsgenie GenieKey API key
- Region: US / Global or EU (Europe)
Opsgenie API access, available endpoints, and request limits may vary by Atlassian/Opsgenie plan, region, and API key permissions. If a workflow receives permission or rate limit errors, review your Opsgenie API key settings and retry after the rate limit window resets.

- Save the connection.
Configure the Trigger or Action
- Map required fields from previous steps in your workflow.
- For incident actions, provide the incident identifier and any required message, note, responder, tag, or priority values.
- For schedule and heartbeat actions, confirm that names or IDs match records in the selected Opsgenie region.
Tip: Use IDs returned by previous Opsgenie steps wherever possible to avoid ambiguity when names are duplicated across teams, schedules, or incidents.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test to verify that Konnectify can access Opsgenie.
- Confirm that sample records and action responses contain the fields you need.
- Review any Opsgenie request status responses for asynchronous incident operations.
Activate the Workflow
- Turn on the workflow when the test completes successfully.
- Monitor initial runs to ensure alerts, incidents, users, teams, schedules, and heartbeats are processed as expected.
