Downtime alerts
in your Slack channel.
Slack is where your team coordinates, so it's where shared incident awareness belongs. UptimeClaw posts downtime and recovery notices straight to the channel you choose — with the detail you need to start triaging immediately.
Shared visibility beats a lonely inbox.
When an alert lands in a shared #incidents channel, the whole team sees it at once — no forwarding, no "did anyone get paged?" The first person free picks it up, others add context in-thread, and the recovery notice closes the loop for everyone. That's triage Slack does well.
Its one gap is reach: muted channels and off-hours mean a 2 a.m. outage can sit unseen. That's why teams pair Slack with WhatsApp for critical alerts — Slack for visibility, WhatsApp to actually wake someone.
- Post to any channel you choose
- Status code, region, response time in every message
- Automatic recovery notice with total downtime
- Combine with WhatsApp/PagerDuty for escalation
Slack alerts FAQ
Which channel do alerts go to?
Whichever you choose — most teams use a dedicated #incidents or #alerts channel. You can route different monitors to different channels.
Do I get a recovery message too?
Yes — UptimeClaw posts an automatic "recovered" notice with total downtime, so the channel always reflects current state.
Can I use Slack and other channels together?
Yes. Attach multiple channels per monitor or set an escalation order — e.g. Slack immediately, WhatsApp if it's critical. See Slack vs WhatsApp.
