Alerting

Webhook payloads and the Enterprise REST API: How to retrieve the results of the alert that was triggered?

My webhook endpoint needs to retrieve the results of the alert that was triggered. Am I correct in thinking that the payload's "sid" value is the same as the Enterprise REST API's {search_id} value in the search/jobs/{search_id}/results endpoint?

I'm a little surprised the webhook docs don't say anything about this since it seems like the logical next step. Normally I'd just try it myself, but we're in a gigantic corporate environment, there's tons of paperwork to get permission to do anything, etc. etc. -- much faster to just ask if I'm on the right track. And, I guess, the other obvious question is, if I'm not on the right track, how do I retrieve the search results based on a webhook payload?

Thanks in advance!
