How do I connect PageWarden to Slack?

Create an incoming webhook URL in Slack, add a Slack destination in PageWarden with that URL, and send a test. Then route any monitor to it. Slack alerts are available on paid plans.

Which plan includes Slack alerts?

Slack is a paid channel, available on Hobby and up. Email alerts are on every plan, including Free.

Will Slack get spammed during a flapping outage?

No. PageWarden groups an outage into one incident and confirms failures across regions before it posts, so you get a single, real alert rather than a stream.

Slack alerts

Uptime alerts in Slack, with a read on what broke

Route PageWarden incidents into a Slack channel so the whole team sees an issue at once. Alerts are confirmed across regions before they fire, and on Starter and Pro they carry a plain-English hypothesis about the likely cause.

One incident, not a flood

An outage arrives as a single message with a start, an end and a duration, not a stream of repeated pings.

Confirmed before it posts

PageWarden re-checks a failure from several regions and votes before it alerts, so Slack stays quiet during a brief local blip.

The likely cause, inline

On Starter and Pro, the message includes a short plain-English hypothesis about what probably broke, so the channel starts from a lead.
