# Datadog

> Investigate Datadog alerts and monitor status from automations.

export const flowWebUrl = "https://app.letsflow.ai";

Flow uses this integration to run Datadog actions from automations with the team connection selected during setup. Admins choose which actions that team can use, and automation runs call only those allowed actions through the connection.

## Permissions and scopes

Flow requests scopes during setup based on the actions allowed on the connection. At runtime, Flow checks action access and granted scopes before calling the provider.

<div className="flow-scope-filter" data-flow-scope-filter>
  <button type="button" className="flow-scope-filter-picker" data-flow-scope-filter-trigger>
    <svg aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="16" height="16" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" strokeWidth="2" strokeLinecap="round" strokeLinejoin="round">
      <path d="M3 6h18" />

      <path d="M7 12h10" />
