FAQ - Downtime alerts
How do I receive downtime alerts?
Configure one or more contacts (email, SMS, webhook) in your dashboard. When a monitor fails, all configured contacts receive an alert.
What channels are supported for alerts?
We support email, SMS, and webhooks (e.g. Slack, Discord, Teams, or any custom URL). You can combine several channels for the same monitor.
Do I get an alert when the service recovers?
Yes. You receive a recovery notification when the monitor is back up, so you know when the incident is resolved.
Can I customize alert messages?
Webhook payloads and integration options let you tailor how alerts are sent. Email and SMS use clear, concise messages with monitor and incident details.
