Start Free Trial Explore Success Kit ## Smart Alerting. Cut the Noise. For the technical stakeholder ### Retry logic & timeout profiles This is how it is wired. Learn more about Uptime Monitoring Retries How many times a check must fail before alerting. Duration 2 / 5 / 10 min down duration before an incident. Recovery Instant notification when a service is back online. Filter Layer ## Not Flicker. Real Incidents. A brief blip isn't a crisis, and it shouldn't ring your phone. Uptimeify re-checks every suspected outage from several independent EU nodes first. The alert fires only once the failure is confirmed. That's how you catch network flicker and single-node hiccups before they turn into a false all-clear to your client. - **Configurable re-checks**, so you decide how many checks must fail before anything alerts. - **Sensitivity control via timeout**, so a short latency spike never passes for an outage. - **Automatic recovery notice**, so your team knows the moment a service is back.

SMS Direct urgent alerts for code-red outages. Email Professional email alerts and custom webhooks. Delivery Layer ## Already Works. Alerts Where Your Team A critical alert can't die in a crowded inbox. Route every alert to the channel your team already lives in, per client. Hard down by SMS, performance warning in Slack: you decide what lands where, instead of making every signal equally loud. - **Native Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord integrations**, so every alert lands where your team already is. - **Direct SMS for code-red outages**, so the real emergency reaches someone. - **Email & fully configurable webhooks**, so you pull alerts into your own tools and pipelines. For the technical stakeholder ### Escalation logic & on-call routing This is how it is wired. Explore the Success Kit Tiered Start with Slack, escalate to SMS after 15 minutes. Stakeholders Account managers notified automatically for their clients. Accountability Escalate to management only if the issue persists. Escalation Layer ## Every Time. The Right Person. Not every outage needs the CTO at three in the morning. Define escalation chains that hit on-call first and only climb when no one responds. Every incident keeps moving, without waking half your org over a single timeout. - **Tiered escalation**, so an unanswered alert moves to the next tier instead of sitting idle. - **Per-monitor routing**, so every client maps to the person or group that owns it. - **Stakeholder updates**, so the account manager stays in the loop on their clients without joining the pager rotation. ### SLA & Contract Templates Service Level Agreement templates to define professional boundaries with your clients. ### Pricing Calculator Find the sweet spot for your care plans.

We help you sell. → For the technical stakeholder ### Timeout logic & retry checks: here's how it's wired Every check has a configurable timeout and a minimum number of confirming re-checks from independent EU nodes before status flips to "down." It's triggered by consensus across locations, not a single failed request. Webhook payloads deliver status, timestamp and the affected monitor as JSON, straight into your own pipeline. How does Uptimeify prevent false alarms? Before any alert goes out, Uptimeify re-checks the outage from several EU nodes, so you're only notified once the failure is confirmed. That catches network flicker and single-node hiccups, so you never send your client an all-clear that's already stale. Which channels can you alert through? Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, SMS and fully configurable webhooks. You set per client which channel fires, so every alert lands where your team already works instead of fading into an inbox. How do escalation tiers and on-call routing work? You define an escalation chain per monitor: if the first tier doesn't respond within your time window, the next person or group is notified automatically. No incident sits idle just because someone isn't at their phone. Can you set maintenance windows without triggering alerts? Yes. Schedule planned work as a maintenance window. Alerting pauses for that period while monitoring keeps running in the background. Your client sees scheduled maintenance in the status history instead of a phantom outage. Is alert data processed in the EU? Yes. Monitoring and alerting run on European infrastructure in Frankfurt, geo-redundant across multiple EU locations, with no US sub-processors with access to your customer or monitoring data. That cuts the risk around third-country transfers and takes a whole discussion off the table in B2B and public-sector pitches.
