How to connect Slack alerts

Slack alerts are available on every plan. Incident and recovery notices are posted to the channel you choose.

Each alert includes the monitor, what failed and when, so the person on call can start without opening the dashboard. When the service recovers, a recovery notice with the total downtime follows in the same channel.

Every plan can also send alerts by email, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams and webhooks, so you can use Slack next to the channels your team already reads.

Connect Slack

1. Log in to your Uptimecheck account.
2. In Slack, create an incoming webhook for the channel that should receive alerts and copy its URL.
3. In Uptimecheck, open Notification handlers and choose Create notification handler.
4. Give it a name, pick Slack as the type and paste the webhook URL.
5. Use Test integration to send a test message, then choose Create.
6. Open the monitors that should alert Slack and tick the new handler under Notifications.

Tips

• Use a dedicated channel, such as #ops-alerts, so incidents are not lost in conversation.
• Combine Slack with Telegram or email for the monitors that matter most at night.
