As promised<\/span><\/a>, we\u2019re back with other monthly updates! We\u2019ve been swamped with different tasks during the last month, so let\u2019s jump right into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Discord Integration<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every feedback from our beloved community is welcomed and from what you told us, <\/span>Discord <\/span><\/a>integration was one of those you missed. Discord alert contact can be simply created from your account at UptimeRobot.com > \u201c<\/span>My Settings<\/b>\u201d > \u201c<\/span>Add alert contact<\/b>\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter all details including the Discord webhook URL and you\u2019re good to go. The Discord Webhook URL can be created from Discord’s <\/span>Channel Settings <\/b>> <\/span>Integrations <\/b>> <\/span>WebHooks menu<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us know if there\u2019s any other integration you\u2019d like to see on UptimeRobot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Payments Infrastructure<\/span><\/h2>\n

By the end of the month, <\/span>Verifone<\/span><\/a> (formerly 2Checkout) has surprised us on short notice as one of their payments processor informed them they will no longer accept MasterCard payments. We had around 4 days to integrate our new provider, <\/span>Stripe<\/span><\/a> – the good news is, <\/span>you can buy SMS\/Call credits using your credit card now!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll finish the migration process and related tasks, but luckily, this won\u2019t affect you much anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Custom Domains for Status Pages<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve decided to make the custom domain part of the custom features available only in PRO plans. <\/span>Free Status pages will be still available under a unique UptimeRobot URL.<\/i><\/b> Your custom domain will result in a 404 page since the 5th of May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find the unique URL in your account at UptimeRobot.com under \u201c<\/span>Status page<\/b>\u201d > \u201c<\/span>Global settings<\/b>\u201d > \u201c<\/span>Standard URL<\/b>\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Encrypt and Cloudflare SSL Expiry Alerts<\/span><\/h2>\n

We increased the expiry notification frequency for free SSL certificates to unify them with all SSL alerts. From now, you\u2019ll receive them 14, 7, and 1 day before the expiration, instead of 3 days before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keyword Monitoring is NOT case-sensitive<\/span><\/h2>\n

We improved the keyword monitoring by removing the case sensitivity condition. You\u2019ll receive notifications for every keyword present (or not) regardless of it. Keyword monitoring is a great way to create back-in-stock alerts for hard-to-get items like RTX 3080 graphic cards or PlayStation 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Updates<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even though the last month was busy we were able to work on some content and design improvements to our web. We also made our Status pages GDPR compliant, added the option to unsubscribe directly from the page.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also enable a cookie bar for your Status pages from your account at UptimeRobot.com > \u201c<\/span>Status pages<\/b>\u201d > \u201c<\/span>Global settings<\/b>\u201d > \u201c<\/span>Display cookie bar<\/b>\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it! We\u2019re looking forward to another successful month and the new challenges it will bring us. Don\u2019t forget to share your thoughts in the comments. Once again, thank you all for your continued support!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
