API Checks - Trigger different alert state on certain assertions

Since Checkly can do different type of alert states, it would be nice to have a different state for certain assertions you make on the response, not only related to response time.

A generic use case for this is a composite API request where you can have a response that is not complete or doesn't return the full information, only partial information.

For us, a practical use case is that we do have a multitude of 3rd party connections/integrations. We've built an endpoint to monitor these integrations and return a JSON array for each of the integrations. Some of the integrations have suboptimal fallbacks but it's a fallback nonetheless.
So in the case of one of the integrations fail but has a fallback we don't want such a severe alerting as "Fail" but rather a degraded notification, as this is something we want to look at but not as urgent as a full on failure that stops services from being used.

Thanks!
