# Blink Ops Destination
## **Overview**
Destinations are integrations that receive alerts from rules, policies, system health notifications, and rule errors. Panther supports configuring [Blink Ops](https://www.blinkops.com/) as the destination where you will receive alerts.
Blink Ops supports receiving alerts with a maximum payload size of 5 MB. If an alert is greater than 5 MB size due to a large alert context, Panther will truncate the alert context.
## How to set up Blink Ops alert destinations in Panther
### Step 1: Create a Panther trigger in Blink Ops
1. In the left-hand navigation bar of your Blink Ops console, click **Workspace** > **Automations**.\
2. Within your chosen Pack, click **New Automation**.
3. In the **New automation** pop-up modal, under the **What do you want to automate?** prompt, enter the following text: `Create a blank automation triggered by a Panther alert`, then click **Generate workflow**.\
* The Blink Copilot will build the automation.\
4. In the bottom-right corner of the resulting automation, click **Create**.\
5. In the automation editor, click the `On Panther Run Webhook` trigger.\
6. In the **Trigger Setup** pop-up modal:
1. In the **Webhook Event Name** field, enter a descriptive name for the webhook, e.g., `Alert from Panther`.
2. Copy the **Webhook URL** and **Webhook API Key** values, and store them in a secure location. You will need them in the next step.
3. Under **Authentication Method**, select **API Key**.
4. Click **Apply**.\
7. Make any desired changes to your workflow, then click **Publish & Activate**.
* If you have already published this automation, a pop-up modal will appear. Click **Publish**.\
### Step 2: Create the Blink Ops alert destination in Panther
1. In the left-hand navigation bar of your Panther Console, click **Integrations > Destinations**.
2. Click **+Add your first Destination**.
* If you have already created Destinations, click **Create New** in the upper right side of the page to add a new Destination.
3. Click **Blink Ops**.
4. Fill out the form:
* **Display Name**: Enter a descriptive name.
* **Webhook URL:** Enter the **Webhook URL** provided by Blink Ops.
* **API Key:** Enter the **Webhook API Key** provided by Blink Ops.
* **Severity**: Select the severity level of alerts to send to this Destination.
* **Alert Types**: Select the alert types to send to this Destination.
* **Log Type**: By default, we will send alerts from all log types. Specify log types here if you want to only send alerts from specific log types.
* **Allow Manual Dispatch**: Set this toggle ON if you'd like to be able to [manually dispatch alerts](https://docs.panther.com/alerts#manual-alert-dispatch) to this destination.\
5. Click **Add Destination**.
6. On the final page, optionally click **Send Test Alert** to test the integration using a test payload. When you are finished, click **Finish Setup**.
