Let's follow the best practice for calling third-party API from Splunk Dashboard. 

• Create Custom Splunk API which will trigger PagerDuty API 
  • Pass appropriate PagerDuty access tokens 
  • Refer: https://hurricanelabs.com/splunk-tutorials/splunk-custom-endpoints-part-1-the-basics/
• Create JavaScript function and trigger on Button on Click
  
  • Refer: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Building-for-the-Splunk-Platform/How-to-call-custom-rest-api-with-Sp...

Please check below pictorial view for Flow understanding.

 

I hope this will help you.

Thanks

May be it's late but answering.

function callCustomAPI() {
        var service = mvc.createService({ owner: "nobody" });
        //send data to server
        console.log(selected_values_array.join());
        var params = selected_values_array.join();
        service.request("/services/my-api-path","POST", {}, {}, JSON.stringify(params), {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, function(err, resp) {
            // Handle response    
            if(resp != null){
              if(resp.status == 200){  
                //do something
              } else {
                //do something with status !=200
              }
            }
            // Handle error
            if(err != null){
              //handle error
            }
          });
     }

You can call callCustomAPI from the button click event or any other javascript event.
