Discord Integration

Send monitor alerts to Discord channels using webhooks. Get notified when monitors go down or recover.

How It Works

Uptime Monitor sends alerts to Discord using webhooks. When a monitor goes down or recovers, a formatted message is posted to your configured channel.

  • •Monitor name appears as a clickable link to the dashboard
  • •Down alerts show the error reason
  • •Recovery alerts include total downtime
