Which alerts can I get in Slack?

The Slack app sends down and up alerts, SSL certificate and domain expiry reminders, and response time alerts. When many monitors go down at once, it sends one alert storm summary. Each message has buttons that open the incident and the monitor. You choose which alert types each channel gets.

Can I send alerts to multiple Slack channels?

Yes. Click Add channel on the Slack card and pick another channel. You don't need to install the app again. Each channel has its own alert types and settings, so incident alerts can go to #ops-alerts and SSL reminders to #web-team.

Can UptimeRobot post to a private Slack channel?

Yes. Open the private channel in Slack and send /invite @UptimeRobot. Then refresh the channel picker in UptimeRobot, and the channel appears in the list.

Can I connect more than one Slack workspace?

Yes. On the Slack card, click Add, then Workspace. In Slack, switch to the other workspace at the top of the authorization screen and click Allow. Each workspace gets its own card with its own channels.

Can I add my own text to Slack notifications?

Yes. Add your own text in the channel's settings, and UptimeRobot includes it in each alert that channel gets, for example a runbook link or the name of the person on call. You can change the text, the friendly name and the alert types at any time.

How do I test if the Slack integration is working correctly?

Open a monitor's settings and send a test notification to your Slack channel. The test message arrives in that channel, so you can check the setup before a real incident.

How do I know my Slack alerts are getting through?

The Slack card shows the health of your workspace connection and of each channel. If a channel is archived or the app is removed from Slack, the account owner gets one email explaining what happened, and alerts go to that email address until the connection is fixed.

Can I keep my existing Slack webhook integration?

Yes. Slack webhook integrations keep working as they are, and installing the Slack app doesn't change them. When you want to move, install the app, check that alerts arrive in the right channels, then delete the old webhook integration from the Integrations page.

Is there a limit to the number of alerts I can receive on Slack?

There's no limit to the number of alerts a Slack channel can receive. To keep a busy channel readable, turn off the alert types it doesn't need, or set a threshold so you're alerted only when a monitor stays down for a set number of minutes.

Get UptimeRobot alerts in Slack with one install.

Add the UptimeRobot app to your Slack workspace, then pick which channels get your down, up, SSL, domain expiry, and response time alerts. The connection stays with your account when teammates leave.

Add to Slack

A Slack channel for every team.

Once UptimeRobot is in your Slack workspace, you can add more channels from the UptimeRobot dashboard without reconnecting to Slack, and route different alerts to different teams.

Each team picks its alerts.

Engineering gets down, up, and response time alerts in #ops-alerts. The web team gets SSL and domain expiry reminders in #web-team. Support sees only down and up alerts in #support.

Set up private channels.

Send alerts to a private incident channel just like a public one. Invite @UptimeRobot to it, and it shows up in your channel list.

Alerts stay when people leave.

The Slack connection belongs to your UptimeRobot account, not to the teammate who set it up. When that person leaves, alerts keep arriving on the same channels.

Why users trust UptimeRobot.

Ashley H.

Simple and impactful

It's very seamless to create any monitor we need and the integrations into Slack make it perfect for my team's workflow. We're alerted of outages of resources used by our stack sometimes before the status pages of those resources report it. The support staff is very accommodating as well.

Several ways to get an alert are available, such as email, telegram, sms, rss, webhook and you can set different alerts for every monitor. The public status page is the best I have found for this price, you can set custom logo and custom domain and it is https. Other services claim to have powerful status pages but they are cumbersome or expensive.

Panteleimon A.

For users who need a straightforward, affordable monitoring tool without advanced analytics or extensive customization, UptimeRobot provides an excellent solution. It meets basic monitoring needs with minimal fuss, making it a popular choice for those prioritizing simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
