All featuresA Slack alert and its recovery
Alerts
Alerts that reach your team where they already work
When a check fails, Spot Downtime confirms it and notifies every alert channel in the workspace. You hear again when it recovers, with how long it was down.
🔴 Checkout is down · Reason: HTTP 503 · since 14:02 UTC
✅ Checkout is back up after 5m 12s
Four kinds of channel
Slack and Discord webhooks, email, and generic webhooks for PagerDuty, Zapier or your own code.
Down, up and SSL alerts
Each alert says what failed and why, links straight to the monitor, and recovery alerts include the outage length.

Questions
- Will I be spammed while a site stays down?
- No. You get one alert when it goes down and one when it recovers.
- Are webhook URLs kept private?
- Yes. After you save a webhook, the app only shows a masked version of its address.
