# Configure the MQTT notifier for Alerting
Use the Grafana Alerting - MQTT integration to send notifications to an MQTT broker when your alerts are firing.
## Procedure
To configure the MQTT integration for Alerting, complete the following steps.
1. In the left-side menu, click **Alerts & IRM** and then **Alerting**.
1. On the **Contact Points** tab, click **+ Add contact point**.
1. Enter a descriptive name for the contact point.
1. From the Integration list, select **MQTT**.
1. Enter your broker URL in the **Broker URL** field. Supports `tcp`, `ssl`, `mqtt`, `mqtts`, `ws`, `wss` schemes. For example: `tcp://127.0.0.1:1883`.
1. Enter the MQTT topic name in the **Topic** field.
1. In **Optional MQTT settings**, specify additional settings for the MQTT integration if needed.
1. Click **Test** to check that your integration works.
** For Grafana Alertmanager only.**
A test alert notification should be sent to the MQTT broker.
1. Click **Save** contact point.
The integration sends data in JSON format by default. You can change that using **Message format** field in the **Optional MQTT settings** section. There are two supported formats:
- **JSON**: Sends the alert notification in JSON format.
- **Text**: Sends the rendered alert notification message in plain text format.
## MQTT JSON payload
If the JSON message format is selected in **Optional MQTT settings**, the payload is sent in the following structure.
