Why IsDown + Slack

Stop Monitoring Chaos, Start Getting Clear Alerts in Slack

Without IsDown

Your team manually checks each vendor status page every time something feels slow.
Outages slip through. The question "Is it us or them?" wastes hours before anyone thinks to check.
Team awareness is scattered. One person knows, the rest keep debugging.

With IsDown + Slack

Automatic Slack alerts for all monitored vendors.
Outage alerts filtered by relevance.
Your whole team knows instantly.
Your team responds in minutes, not hours.

Use Cases

How teams use IsDown + Slack

Every team gets the alerts they need, in the channels they already check.

DevOps

Vendor outage alerts before your monitors fire

AWS us-east-1 has elevated error rates? IsDown alerts #devops-alerts before your internal monitors fire. Your team knows it's a vendor issue, not your code.

IT Managers

Proactive team updates when vendors degrade

Microsoft 365 has a degradation? IsDown posts to #it-ops with the affected services and regions. Message your team before the helpdesk queue spikes.

SaaS Companies

Alert engineering and CS simultaneously

Stripe has a payment processing incident? IsDown alerts #engineering and #customer-success at the same time. CS knows to expect calls. Engineering knows not to deploy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is IsDown different from just bookmarking vendor status pages?

Vendor status pages are updated by the vendor, often 20-45 minutes after an outage starts. IsDown detects outages independently through service checks, typically alerting you before the vendor posts anything.

Which services does IsDown monitor?

IsDown monitors 6320+ services including AWS, Azure, GCP, Stripe, GitHub, Salesforce, Datadog, and more. If a service has a public status page, we likely monitor it.

How do I connect IsDown to Slack?

After signing up, go to your IsDown dashboard, then Alerts & Integrations, then Add Slack. Approve the permissions, and you're set. No complex configurations needed.

What Slack permissions does IsDown need?

IsDown only needs permission to post messages to the channels you select. We don't read any messages or access private content.

Can I filter which alerts are sent to Slack?

Yes. You control which vendors and severity levels trigger notifications. Alerts are only sent when something important happens.

Can I send alerts to different Slack channels?

Yes. Create a board for each team or use case, add the vendors you want to monitor, and set the appropriate Slack channel.

How quickly will I be notified of outages?

IsDown sends alerts to Slack within seconds of detecting an incident. You'll know about issues as soon as they're reported.
