Alert notifications (email and SMS)
How to choose which monitoring alerts a project sends and deliver them by email, SMS or Telegram, in addition to the in-app notification bell.
How alerts work
Monitoring alerts are set per project and cover the project's production instance. Alerts always appear in the in-app notification bell at the top of the app. Email, SMS and Telegram are extra channels that you switch on by filling them in on the project's Notifications tab.
You need the Project settings permission in a workspace to change these settings.
Choosing which events alert you
- Open the project in the Console and click Project Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Open the Notifications tab. The card is titled Monitoring Alerts.
- Under Alert Events, tick the events you want:
- Instance down / back up: the production instance stops responding, and again when it recovers.
- SSL certificate / domain expiry warnings: the certificate or domain is close to expiring.
- Slow response time: the instance responds noticeably slower than normal.
- Untick an event to stop alerts for it.
- Click Save Changes at the top of the page.
Getting alerts by email
- On the Notifications tab, find Alert Emails.
- Enter one or more addresses separated by commas, for example
[email protected], [email protected]. - Click Save Changes.
Every address in the list receives the alerts for the ticked events. Clear the field and save to turn email alerts off.
Getting alerts by SMS
- On the Notifications tab, find Alert Phone (SMS).
- Enter one phone number in international format with the country code, for example
+31612345678. - Click Save Changes.
Clear the field and save to turn SMS alerts off.
Note: SMS delivery depends on the platform having text messaging switched on. If you have saved a number and never receive texts while email alerts arrive, open a support ticket.
Getting alerts in Telegram
- On the Notifications tab, click Connect Telegram.
- Our Telegram bot opens. Press Start there to link the project to your chat. The settings page updates by itself once the link is made.
- If the link does not open, use Open in the Telegram app, or search for the bot name shown on the page and send it the message shown, using copy to copy it.
- When linked, the Telegram section shows Connected and the chat name.
To stop Telegram alerts, click Disconnect in the same section.
Note: If clicking Connect Telegram shows "Telegram notifications are not enabled on this platform", Telegram delivery is not available yet. Use email or SMS instead.
Where else to look
- Uptime, response times and resource charts are in the instance's Monitoring tab, see Monitoring your instance.
- If a down alert follows a deployment, check the job log, see Deployments and the job queue.
