Splunk Search

Why does the Restapi saved search not accept xmatter action when automating alert setup for splunk alerts?

Hi I am trying to automate alert set up for splunk alerts . I am using splunk tf provider : https://registry.terraform.io/providers/splunk/splunk/latest/docs/resources/saved_searches#argument-...

 

We have couple of actions  when an alert is generated like email , slack message & call out . Call out is using custom action called xmatter. Curl command creates alert well

curl -ks -u username:password https://<splunkurl>:8089/servicesNS/nobody/digital_dcps_sre_search/saved/searches -d name=No_Memory_Left -d cron_schedule="*/5 * * * *" -d description="This test job is a durable saved search" -d dispatch.earliest_time="-24h@h" -d dispatch.latest_time="now" -d action.digital_slack="1" -d action.digital_slack.param.channel="#dcps-sre-alerts" -d action.digital_slack.param.message="Kong DP Alert .This line indicates that the data plane instance is trying to read a config from the control plane that is bigger than the config cache shared memory location. This means the data plane can no longer receive configuration updates." -d action.digital_slack.param.workspace="rbwm" -d alert.track="true" -d alert_comparator="greater than" -d alert_threshold="1" -d is_scheduled="true" -d alert_type="number of events" -d action.abc_xmatters_alerts="0" -d action.abc_xmatters_alerts.param.key="xxxxxx" -d action.abc_xmatters_alerts.param.severity="MINOR" -d action.abc_xmatters_alerts.param.summary="text=UK TP Splunk Alert. '$name$' alert was triggered. $result.final_gateway_url$. Link: $results_link$\napplication=Technical-Platform-Engineering_UK" -d actions="digital_slack" -d alert.digest_mode="true" -d alert.expires="5d" -d alert.severity="4" -d alert.suppress="true" -d alert.suppress.period="60m" -d description="This line indicates that the data plane instance is trying to read a config from the control plane that is bigger than the config cache shared memory location. This means the data plane can no longer receive configuration updates" -d disabled="false" --data-urlencode search="search index=digital_technical_onprem_kongdp_raw sourcetype=SystemErr \\[clustering\\] unable to update running config: no memory"

 

But it fails if I try to use splunk tf provider because action_param_key etc are not supported . Is there anyway I can set customer action in alert using tf ?
