Monitor your website uptime and get confirmed Slack alerts

Checks your services on a schedule and only alerts Slack after a failure is confirmed twice, cutting false alarms.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats recheck same service; it retries when a step fails.

Pattern: Structured Loop (21)

The problem it solves

When a service goes down, you need to know fast, but constant false alarms train your team to ignore alerts altogether. Checking uptime manually or reacting to every blip wastes attention you need for real problems.

Who it fits

IT teams and developers responsible for keeping websites or APIs running.

How it works

  1. The service is checked on a set schedule
  2. If a check fails, the system waits and checks again
  3. An alert is only sent if the second check also fails
  4. Slack receives a confirmed failure notification
What you get

False alarms your team never has to chase

Your team hears about real outages only after they're confirmed twice, so a Slack ping always means something is actually wrong.

What you get

A confirmed downtime alert in Slack, sent only when a failure is real.

What you need

A Slack workspace with a bot token and the URLs of the services you want monitored.

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.
