## Alert webhooks

For the alert webhooks you can use the SDK to parse them. Here is an example of how to parse the webhook payload in Remix:

```ts
import { ActionFunctionArgs, json } from "@remix-run/server-runtime";
import { webhooks, WebhookError } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

export async function action({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) {
  // Make sure this is a POST request
  if (request.method !== "POST") {
    return json({ error: "Method not allowed" }, { status: 405 });
  }

  try {
    // Construct and verify the webhook event
    // This secret can be found on your Alerts page when you create a webhook alert
    const event = await webhooks.constructEvent(request, process.env.ALERT_WEBHOOK_SECRET!);

    // Process the event based on its type
    switch (event.type) {
      case "alert.run.failed": {
        console.log("[Webhook Internal Test] Run failed alert webhook received", { event });
        break;
      }
      case "alert.deployment.success": {
        console.log("[Webhook Internal Test] Deployment success alert webhook received", { event });
        break;
      }
      case "alert.deployment.failed": {
        console.log("[Webhook Internal Test] Deployment failed alert webhook received", { event });
        break;
      }
      default: {
        console.log("[Webhook Internal Test] Unhandled webhook type", { event });
      }
    }

    // Return a success response
    return json({ received: true }, { status: 200 });
  } catch (err) {
    // Handle webhook errors
    if (err instanceof WebhookError) {
      console.error("Webhook error:", { message: err.message });
      return json({ error: err.message }, { status: 400 });
    }

    if (err instanceof Error) {
      console.error("Error processing webhook:", { message: err.message });
      return json({ error: err.message }, { status: 400 });
    }

    // Handle other errors
    console.error("Error processing webhook:", { err });
    return json({ error: "Internal server error" }, { status: 500 });
  }
}
```
