Discord downtime alerts that reach you first.
Uptimia checks your sites from 171+ locations and posts every confirmed failure into a Discord channel through a webhook — nothing joins your member list. The recovery post closes the loop in the same channel.
Overview
Last 7 DaysIncident #4127 · policy Store on-call
Outages ignore your working hours
A server dies at 02:07 on a Saturday. Nobody is watching a dashboard, the inbox is asleep, and the only app still making a sound on anyone’s phone is Discord.
I’ll see it from my desk
A web server has no way to tell you it stopped answering. Whatever breaks outside working hours stays broken until working hours.
The community finds out for you
By morning the outage has its own thread — screenshots, tagged mods, a mod answering the same question twelve times. The channel that stayed silent all night is the one that should have spoken first.
An outage handled from bed
At 02:07 the store stopped answering with an HTTP 502. The dashboard still showed a green fleet average, the status page still said operational, and nobody was awake to look at either.
Wired up in three steps
A webhook, a routing decision, a safety net. No bot invite, no roles to grant, no OAuth screen.
Create the channel webhook
In Discord, open the channel’s settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook. Paste the URL into Uptimia and press Send test — you watch the embed land before anything real depends on it.
Tell each monitor where to shout
Each webhook is an alert contact, and each monitor picks its contacts. The store and the API post to #alerts, certificate and domain warnings to #warnings, the speed feed somewhere nobody gets notified.
Decide what happens if nobody taps
Put the monitor on an escalation policy and the post carries an acknowledge link. Ignored, the ladder climbs on your timings — SMS to the on-call, then the next name. Quiet hours are set per recipient. Escalation policies come with the Professional plan and above; the webhook itself works on every plan.
Connect Discord to Uptimia
The whole walkthrough, in the Help Center: creating the channel webhook in Discord, adding the integration, sending a test ping, and assigning it to your monitors.

- Add the Discord integration
- Test the integration
- Assign it to your monitors
What else pings your channel
A green homepage hides a certificate expiring, a cron job that stopped on Tuesday, a checkout that 500s on the last step. Twelve monitor types can post to one webhook — here are eight of them, and what each one notices.
One channel per kind of news
A channel gets muted when it mixes a 502 with a speed report. Create a webhook per channel, point each monitor at the one it belongs in, and let Discord’s per-channel notification settings do the rest.

What sits behind the webhook
Uptimia accepts webhook URLs on discord.com and discordapp.com only, pins the address it resolved so the post cannot be redirected elsewhere, and never follows a redirect. Behind that one door sits the platform that finds the problems and proves your uptime.
The dashboard behind the pings
When you want the whole picture — every monitor, incident and response time — it’s one tab away, not an everyday obligation.
Confirmed before the post
A failure is re-checked from other regions — up to 3 of them, your call per monitor — so one flaky route never wakes a channel.
A status page for the community
Publish status on your own domain and watch the “is it down?” DMs dry up.
Monthly uptime PDFs
Numbers for the client, the sponsor or the retro — generated and emailed on schedule.
Time to acknowledge, recorded
Every acknowledgement is stamped against the incident, so “we got faster at this” is a number, not a feeling.
The ladder past Discord
Post ignored? On an escalation policy (Professional plan and above) Uptimia texts the on-call, then their backup. Maintenance windows and per-recipient quiet hours keep planned work silent.
How Discord downtime alerts work
Uptimia runs uptime, SSL, speed, transaction and server checks from 171+ locations and posts every alert to Discord through a channel webhook. The message arrives as an embed: a colour-coded heading, the monitor name, what state it is in and since when, plus its type and priority. Recoveries post to the same channel with the total time down. Monitors on an escalation policy (Professional plan and above) also carry a signed acknowledge link, and the ladder climbs to SMS or another channel until someone taps it.
Email doesn’t buzz your pocket
Email is where alerts wait their turn. For a team that lives in Discord, the inbox is the last surface anyone checks — and the last one that makes a sound at night.
The push finds whoever’s awake
Discord handles the last mile: its per-channel notification settings decide whose phone lights up, and whoever stirs first taps the acknowledge link.
Every message your server receives
The channel gets the full lifecycle, not just the bad news — each stage is its own post, so scrolling #alerts reads like the incident’s diary. How the ladder is built →
See all 12 alert channels →| Message | Posts when | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| Down alert | Backup probes repeat the failure | Monitor and state, plus the acknowledgement link on an escalation policy |
| Escalation step | The post goes unanswered | The next channel or an SMS, then the next person |
| Group digest | Monitors on one policy fall together | One post for the storm, not one per monitor |
| Join update | More monitors join that group | A throttled follow-up naming the newcomers |
| Recovery | The check goes green again | The all-clear, with total time down |
| Test message | You press Send test | Proof it lands, before anything is at stake |
