The Datadog integration allows Unleash to post Updates to Datadog when a feature toggle is updated. To set up this integration, you need to set up a webhook connector for your channel. You can follow [Submitting events to Datadog](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/events/#post-an-event) on how to do that.
The Datadog integration will perform a single retry if the HTTP POST against the Datadog Webhook URL fails (either a 50x or network error). Duplicate events may happen, and you should never assume events always comes in order.
- **Datadog Events URL** - This is an optional property. The default URL is https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events. If you are not not using the US1 [Datadog site](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/), you'll need to change this. Some instances and their URLs are:
The body template property will be introduced as a beta feature in Unleash 5.5 and is expected to be made generally available in Unleash 5.6.
:::
- **Body template** - This is an optional property. The template is used to override the body template used by Unleash when performing the HTTP POST. You can format your message using a [Mustache template](https://mustache.github.io). Refer to the [Unleash event types](/reference/event-types) reference to find out which event properties you have access to in the template.
Example:
```mustache
{
"event": "{{event.type}}",
"createdBy": "{{event.createdBy}}",
"featureToggle": "{{event.data.name}}",
"timestamp": "{{event.data.createdAt}}"
}
```
If you don't specify anything Unleash will send a formatted markdown body.
Example:
```markdown
username created feature toggle (featurename)[http://your.url/projects/projectname/features/featurename] in project *projectname*
