Notification Channels in UptimeRobot provide various methods for receiving alerts and updates regarding the status and incidents of your monitors. These channels play a crucial role in maintaining a real-time and well-informed analysis of your monitored services.
UptimeRobot's notification channels fall into two main categories:
Personal Notification Channels: These include Email, SMS, Voice Call, and Mobile App Push notifications. They offer direct and immediate communication with the user.
Integration Channels: These comprise various third-party applications, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webhooks, among others. UptimeRobot can send alerts to these applications.
For every type of contact — whether personal or integration — you can choose the kind of notifications you'd like to receive. By default, all alert types are enabled. The alert options include:
Up Alerts: Notifications for when a monitored service returns to being operational after a downtime.
Down Alerts: Notifications for when a monitored service becomes unavailable.
SSL and Domain Expiration Alerts: Notifications regarding the impending expiry of your SSL certificates and registered domains.
However, you can customize these settings according to your needs. Having this level of granular control over your notifications ensures you stay informed about the most relevant events of your monitored services at all times.
