Everything you need
A closer look at what you get, from the first check to the alert that reaches you.
Email alerts
Send downtime and recovery notifications to any address.
Slack & Discord
Native webhook integrations post rich, readable alerts directly to your channels.
Generic webhooks
Send signed JSON payloads to any endpoint, with an HMAC signature header.
Recovery alerts
Get notified when a service comes back up, including downtime duration.
Alert cooldowns
Set a minimum time between repeat alerts so an ongoing outage doesn't flood your inbox.
Team or monitor scoped
Route some alerts to the whole team and others to a single critical monitor.
How it works
Three steps from an empty dashboard to checks that run on their own.
Create an alert
Choose a channel and, optionally, a specific monitor.
Configure delivery
Add the destination — email address, webhook URL, Slack or Discord webhook.
Get notified automatically
Alerts fire on state changes, with cooldowns preventing repeat noise.
Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask most before they start monitoring.
Which alert channels are supported?
Email, Slack, Discord, and generic webhooks — connect to any other service via webhook.
What happens when an outage is detected?
Uptime immediately sends an alert through every configured channel for that monitor.
Can I avoid getting alerted repeatedly during a long outage?
Yes — set a cooldown so the same alert only re-fires after a minimum time has passed.
Do webhook payloads carry a signature?
Yes. Set a secret and every webhook request includes an HMAC SHA-256 `Webhook-Signature` header.
