+=== Create alert API
+++++
+<titleabbrev>Create alert</titleabbrev>
+++++
+
+Create {kib} alerts.
+
+[[alerts-api-create-request]]
+==== Request
+
+`POST <kibana host>:<port>/api/alerts/alert`
+
+[[alerts-api-create-request-body]]
+==== Request body
+
+`name`::
+  (Required, string) A name to reference and search.
+
+`tags`::
+  (Optional, string array) A list of keywords to reference and search.
+
+`alertTypeId`::
+  (Required, string) The ID of the alert type that you want to call when the alert is scheduled to run.
+
+`schedule`::
+  (Required, object) The schedule specifying when this alert should be run, using one of the available schedule formats specified under
++
+._Schedule Formats_.
+[%collapsible%open]
+=====
+A schedule is structured such that the key specifies the format you wish to use and its value specifies the schedule.
+
+We currently support the _Interval format_ which specifies the interval in seconds, minutes, hours or days at which the alert should execute.
+Example: `{ interval: "10s" }`, `{ interval: "5m" }`, `{ interval: "1h" }`, `{ interval: "1d" }`.
+
+There are plans to support multiple other schedule formats in the near future.
+=====
+
+`throttle`::
+  (Optional, string) How often this alert should fire the same actions. This will prevent the alert from sending out the same notification over and over. For example, if an alert with a `schedule` of 1 minute stays in a triggered state for 90 minutes, setting a `throttle` of `10m` or `1h` will prevent it from sending 90 notifications during this period.
+
+`notifyWhen`::
+  (Required, string) The condition for throttling the notification: `onActionGroupChange`, `onActiveAlert`, or `onThrottleInterval`.
+
+`enabled`::
+  (Optional, boolean) Indicates if you want to run the alert on an interval basis after it is created.
+
+`consumer`::
+  (Required, string) The name of the application that owns the alert. This name has to match the Kibana Feature name, as that dictates the required RBAC privileges.
+
+`params`::
+  (Required, object) The parameters to pass to the alert type executor `params` value. This will also validate against the alert type params validator, if defined.
+
+`actions`::
+  (Optional, object array) An array of the following action objects.
++
+.Properties of the action objects:
+[%collapsible%open]
+=====
+  `group`:::
+    (Required, string) Grouping actions is recommended for escalations for different types of alert instances. If you don't need this, set this value to `default`.
+
+  `id`:::
+    (Required, string) The ID of the action saved object to execute.
+
+  `actionTypeId`:::
+    (Required, string) The ID of the <<action-types,action type>>.
+
+  `params`:::
+    (Required, object) The map to the `params` that the <<action-types,action type>> will receive. ` params` are handled as Mustache templates and passed a default set of context.
