Use Cases

How teams use IsDown + Zapier

Route vendor outage alerts to any tool your team already uses.

DevOps Teams

Auto-create tickets when vendors go down

AWS has an outage? IsDown triggers a Zap that creates a Jira ticket, alerts the on-call engineer via PagerDuty, and posts to your #incidents channel. All automatic.

IT Operations

Update internal dashboards and notify stakeholders

Microsoft 365 degradation detected? A Zap updates your internal status dashboard, notifies department heads via email, and logs the event in your ITSM tool.

SaaS Companies

Coordinate cross-team response automatically

Stripe payment processing incident? A Zap alerts engineering, creates a customer communication draft, pauses deployment pipelines, and updates your public status page.

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 6020+ services including AWS, Azure, GCP, Stripe, GitHub, Salesforce, Datadog, and more. If a service has a public status page, we likely monitor it.

How does the Zapier integration work?

IsDown sends real-time webhook events when vendor outages are detected. Connect these webhooks to Zapier as a trigger, then build any workflow you need. No coding required.

What can I automate with IsDown + Zapier?

Anything Zapier supports. Common use cases include creating tickets in Jira or Linear, sending alerts to Slack or Teams, updating status pages, notifying stakeholders via email, and pausing deployments.

Do I need to write any code?

No. IsDown provides webhook URLs that connect directly to Zapier. Use Zapier's visual builder to create workflows without writing a single line of code.

Can I trigger different workflows for different vendors?

Yes. Create separate boards in IsDown for different vendor groups, each with its own webhook. Route critical vendor outages to one workflow and non-critical ones to another.

How quickly will my Zapier workflows trigger?

IsDown sends webhook events within seconds of detecting an incident. Your Zapier workflows will fire almost immediately after IsDown detects a vendor outage.
