Webhook alerts

A webhook lets PageWarden send each alert to a web address you control, so you can plug incidents into your own systems, a status page, or an automation tool.

Available on: paid plans (Hobby and above).

Set it up

1. Go to Alerts and select Add channel.
2. Choose Webhook.
3. Paste the URL that should receive the alerts.
4. Open the new channel's ⋮ menu and choose Send test to confirm your endpoint receives it.

What PageWarden sends

When an incident starts or resolves, PageWarden sends a POST request with a JSON body describing the monitor, the event, and the time. A test send uses the same shape so you can build against it. Your endpoint should respond quickly with a success status.

Good to know

• The receiving URL must be reachable from the public internet.
• If you just want messages in a chat app, use the ready-made Slack, Discord, or Telegram channels instead. Webhooks are for building your own integration.
