A QuickDesk device reports a security alarm when it detects a risky event. You can see alarms in the console. You can also receive them as webhook events.

Alarm types

See alarms in the console

You can search the list. You can also export it as CSV.

Receive alarms as webhooks

Each alarm also goes to the webhooks of the organization. The event type is quickdesk.alarm.raised. The data object has these fields: To receive the event, subscribe to it on the Webhooks screen. For the event catalogue, signing, and retries, read QuickDesk webhooks.

Who can report an alarm

The server accepts an alarm only from the device itself. The device ID and the private device UUID of the device must match. The server rejects all other alarm reports.
