# Guardrail

> Connect Guardrail to Clarion to receive Guard alerts for AI-powered triage and response.

This guide walks you through connecting your Guardrails account to Clarion. The setup involves creating a webhook-based Response Channel in Guardrails and linking it to a Clarion monitor.

> **Estimated time:** 5-10 minutes. You will need access to your **Guardrails dashboard** and **Clarion workspace**.

> The Clarion integration wizard generates the webhook URL and signing secret for you. Keep the wizard open alongside your Guardrails dashboard.

## Prerequisites

* Access to your **Guardrails** dashboard with permissions to create Response Channels
* A **Clarion workspace** with the Guardrails integration wizard open
