IT alerting that reaches the right person

When something breaks, the on-call engineer knows before the tickets start.

PulseStack watches your infrastructure from multiple locations and routes every incident to the eight channels your teams already use. Automatic re-checks, multi-location confirmation and maintenance windows keep the noise down so real alerts land clean.

Free plan with no card. Failure and recovery alerts included on every tier.

Bad alerting fails in predictable ways

Most teams do not lack monitoring. They lack alerting that reaches the right person, at the right moment, without crying wolf.

01

The alert went to a dead inbox

A shared mailbox nobody reads is where incidents go to die. When alerts do not reach the on-call engineer, an outage runs for an hour before anyone notices.

02

So many false alarms nobody looks

A monitor that pages on every transient blip trains your team to ignore it. By the time a real outage lands, the alert is just more noise in a muted channel.

03

Deploys set off the sirens

Planned work triggers a wall of failure alerts, on-call scrambles, and then realises it was the migration everyone knew about. Trust in the system erodes fast.

Route each incident to the people who own it

One monitor, one or many channels. Point production databases at your on-call rota and the marketing site at a Slack channel. Nobody gets paged for something that is not theirs.

How PulseStack keeps alerts trustworthy

1

Check from multiple locations

Every uptime monitor runs from three regions at once so a single unhealthy node cannot trigger a false alarm.

2

Confirm before paging

Every failure is double-checked first: uptime checks must fail from at least two of the three locations, and other monitors are re-tested a few seconds later.

3

Route to the owner

Send the confirmed incident to the exact channels the responsible team lives in. No group inbox guesswork.

4

Close the loop

A recovery alert fires the moment the service is healthy again, so whoever responded knows it is resolved.

Nine monitor types feed your alerts

Alerting is only as good as what it watches. PulseStack covers the full surface, from a public URL to a background cron job, with SSL certificate, DNS record and domain expiry monitors as well.

HTTP

Uptime, status codes and response time for any URL. Custom headers supported.

Keyword

Confirm a word or phrase is present, or alert when a banned string appears.

TCP Ping

A timed TCP connection to a host and port, without sending an HTTP request.

Port

Check a specific service port is open and answering.

API

Hit an endpoint with your method, headers and body, and check the status code.

Heartbeat

Cron and background jobs check in on time, or you get paged when they miss.

Built for the way IT teams actually work

Small on-call rota

One or two engineers covering everything. Route confirmed incidents straight to PagerDuty and SMS so the person on call never misses a page, and let recovery alerts tell them when to stand down.

Agency managing client sites

Dozens of properties across clients. Give each site its own monitor and its own Slack channel, and let automatic re-checks and multi-location confirmation keep noise off the shared inbox.

Internal platform team

APIs, jobs and databases behind the product. Heartbeat monitors catch a stalled ETL, port checks catch a down service, and maintenance windows keep deploy nights quiet.

IT alerting questions, answered

Which alert channels does PulseStack support?

PulseStack includes eight native alert channels: email, SMS, Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, PagerDuty and webhooks, and Zapier connects through webhooks. SMS alerts are included on the Team and Enterprise plans.

How does PulseStack reduce false alarms?

Incidents can be confirmed from multiple locations before an alert is sent, so a single flaky node does not page your team. Maintenance windows let you mute alerts during planned work.

How quickly are issues detected?

The Starter plan checks every 60 seconds, and Pro, Team and Enterprise check every 30 seconds. The Free plan runs HTTP checks every 5 minutes.

Can I route different alerts to different people?

Yes. You can send incidents to the channels your team already uses, including PagerDuty for structured on-call escalation and webhooks or Zapier for custom routing.

Do I need a credit card to get started?

No. The Free plan needs no card and includes 5 HTTP monitors with email alerts. Every paid plan also comes with a 14-day free trial, with no card needed.

Will my team know when a service recovers?

Yes. Alongside failure alerts, PulseStack provides recovery notifications and keeps full incident detection and history so you can review each event.
