Why those emails fall short
Teams still rely on alert.uptimerobot.com emails that include only a URL and a timestamp. That creates busywork and slows mitigation.
Watch.Dog combines monitors, runbooks, and escalation rules so every alert tells responders what broke and what to do next.
Channels included in the super free plan
- Email with incident timeline links
- SMS with acknowledge-shortcuts
- Slack and Microsoft Teams rich cards
Template everything
Map alerts to owners, components, and customer tiers. Preload customer-ready language so status pages update in sync.
For execs you can ping WhatsApp or phone trees while engineers stay inside Slack.
Watch.Dog killed our alert uptimerobot com filter folder—we haven't opened it in months.
Measure and improve
Analytics show how long it takes to acknowledge incidents per channel. Tune policies until every alert leads to action, not noise.
Because your workspace stays free, you can invite support, marketing, and leadership without budget fights.
