How WhatsApp Alerts Work
2
Configure Your Monitors
Add websites and APIs to monitor. Select WhatsApp as your preferred notification channel for each monitor.
3
Receive Instant Alerts
When downtime occurs, you'll get a WhatsApp message within seconds. Another message arrives when your site is back online.
The Alert Channel You Actually Check
Let's be honest: emails get buried, and dedicated monitoring apps get ignored. But WhatsApp? You check it dozens of times a day. That's why WhatsApp alerts have 95%+ open rates within 3 minutes compared to 20% for email.
When your e-commerce checkout goes down at 2 AM, you need to know immediately - not when you finally check your email the next morning.
