Getting started
Create your account and start watching your first website.
Creating an OffAlerts account
Sign up with just your email. There is no password to choose or remember.
Creating your first monitor
Tell OffAlerts which website to watch and where to send alerts. It takes about a minute.
Setting up monitors by chat
Describe what you want watched in plain language and the assistant sets it up.
Monitoring
Websites, scheduled jobs, domain names and status pages.
Getting alerted when a scheduled job stops running
Use a heartbeat to know when a backup, import or other automatic task didn't run.
Getting warned before your domain or certificate expires
Don't lose your site to a missed renewal. One monitor watches both.
Getting alerted when your domain's settings change
Know when your domain's DNS records change, whether you meant them to or not.
Creating a public status page
Give customers one link that shows whether your services are up.
Pausing a monitor
Stop checks and alerts during planned maintenance without losing history.
A monitor says down but the site works for me
OffAlerts visits your site from elsewhere on the internet, so it can see problems you don't.
Alerts
Choose where alerts go and fix ones that don't arrive.
Choosing where your alerts go
Get alerts by email, Slack, Discord, Telegram and more.
Getting alerts on Telegram
Link your Telegram account in one tap. No bot setup of your own.

Have alerts posted into a Slack or Discord channel your team already watches.
I'm not receiving alerts
The usual causes, in the order worth checking them.
