# Opsgenie Notification Channel

### How do Opsgenie notification channels work?

Resmo fetches data using a Configuration and Read-Only API Key from your Opsgenie account. In order to match Opsgenie alert priorities with Resmo severity levels, you must map them on the setup process. Once the setup is complete, you will start receiving near real-time Opsgenie alerts when Resmo detects a rule breach.&#x20;

* To connect a notification rule to a notification channel, you must select the channel on the individual notification rule page.

### How to set up an Opsgenie notification channel

1. Login to your Resmo account.
2. Click Settings, then Notification Channels.
3. Click the Add Notification Channels button and select Opsgenie.
4. Give a descriptive name to the channel.
