Integrations
Connect website monitoring to the channels you use.
UptimeWire can send its alerts by email, Telegram, webhook, and three chat services. See what each channel carries, which plan includes it, and how far its live delivery has been verified.
Notification channels.
Each card shows the plan a channel starts on and how far its delivery has been verified. A channel is not called verified until a real message to a live service has been confirmed.
- Every plan
Email
Every alert goes to the email address set for the website. No setup beyond that address. Delivery to a live service not yet verified - Every plan
Telegram
Get every kind of UptimeWire alert in a private Telegram chat: outages, recoveries, and certificate, domain, and DNS warnings. Delivery to a live service not yet verified - From Starter
Webhooks
Send an outage or recovery alert to an address you control, as a signed JSON message your own code can check and act on. Delivery to a live service not yet verified - From Starter
Discord
Post an alert in a Discord channel when a website goes down and when it comes back, using a webhook that you create in Discord. Delivery to a live service not yet verified - From Business
Slack
Post an alert in a Slack channel when a website goes down and when it comes back, using an incoming webhook from a Slack app that you create. Delivery to a live service not yet verified - From Business
Microsoft Teams
Post an alert card in a Teams channel when a website goes down and when it comes back, using a workflow that you create in the Workflows app. Delivery to a live service not yet verified
What each channel carries.
UptimeWire raises two kinds of alert. Outage and recovery alerts say that a website stopped answering and that it came back. Warnings say that a certificate, a domain registration, or a DNS record needs attention. Not every channel carries both kinds.
| Channel | Outage | Recovery | SSL certificate warning | Domain expiration warning | DNS resolution warning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Telegram | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Webhooks | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Discord | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Slack | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Microsoft Teams | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
- Outage
- A failed check is repeated first. An incident opens, and the alert goes out, only when the failure is confirmed.
- Recovery
- Sent when the website answers again and the incident closes, so you know the problem is over.
- SSL certificate warning
- A warning ahead of the date a certificate expires. It does not renew the certificate.
- Domain expiration and DNS warnings
- A warning ahead of a domain registration ending, and a warning when a name stops resolving.
Webhook, Discord, Slack, and Microsoft Teams carry outage and recovery alerts only. Certificate, domain, and DNS warnings reach you by email and, if you have connected it, Telegram.
Choosing a channel.
Most teams use more than one. A sensible start is a channel that reaches you wherever you are, plus one that reaches the people who act on an outage.
- Email, for everything
- The only channel that carries every kind of alert and works on every plan. Keep it on, even if you add others.
- Telegram, for alerts on your phone
- Carries every kind of alert too, and works on every plan. You connect it once, from your account.
- Webhooks, for your own tools
- Sends outage and recovery alerts to an address you control, signed so your code can check where they came from. Needs the Starter plan or higher.
- Chat, for the team
- Discord from Starter, Slack and Microsoft Teams from Business. They carry outage and recovery alerts into a channel your team already reads.
How setup works.
You set up channels in your own account, in the notification settings of your profile. Only the account owner can change them.
- Email goes to the alert address you set for each website.
- Telegram is connected by opening a link and pressing Start in a private chat.
- Webhook, Discord, Slack, and Microsoft Teams each need one address, which you create in the other service and paste into your account. A test message button shows at once whether it works.
- Telegram, webhook, and chat channels are set once for the whole account and apply to every website. Email is set per website.
- Each channel page lists the exact steps, the limits, and what to check when something does not arrive.
