The problem it solves

If your router doubles as your network controller, there's no built-in way to know when a location's internet actually goes down. You end up finding out from an angry call or a missed order instead of catching the outage yourself.

Who it fits

Best for IT managers or operators overseeing multiple business locations on a Unifi network.

How it works

  1. The system checks each site's connection status on a schedule
  2. It compares the current status against the last known state
  3. If a site has gone offline, it builds an alert message
  4. The alert is posted to Microsoft Teams so your team can respond right away
What you get

Outages you hear about the moment they happen

The instant one of your Unifi sites drops offline, your team gets a Microsoft Teams alert so someone can respond right away.

What you get

A Microsoft Teams alert as soon as a monitored site goes offline.

What you need

A Unifi Site Manager account with API access and a Microsoft Teams account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
