Crocco, Chris
With the new Ghost deploy, it looks like the script editor option has been removed from the "Create a new xMatters Event" option for inbound integrations. Are we supposed to use the "Run a script" option now to execute a customer transform script?
This is really aggravating and impeding our use of the tool, so if we can fix that it would be awesome.
Thanks!

***Update on this***
I found the transform option in the drop down, so all good there. I would recommend re-naming that back to just "Create xMatters Event" and brand the new option without the script editor as "Quick Integration" or something to that effect so that it's not as confusing to heavy users of the previous format of inbound integraions.
Chris - you figured it out before I could respond! We hear you, and struggled a bit on naming, but felt that a reset was the best thing to do to set things on the right track. Apologies for the confusion.
For those following along, the option Chris needed is a new option called "Transform content to create a new xMatters event" and it allows you to write a Javascript transformation to map data into xMatters. And the "Create xMatters event" now understands our POST syntax, but doesn't do any transforms and it provides a full set of instructions in the UI to show sample syntax, including a CURL example.
For those not as familiar with the product as Chris: select "Create xMatters event" if you can code your integration to speak our POST format... otherwise select "Transform content to create a new xMatters event" if you can't control your integration's payload and need to map the HTTP request into xMatters.
