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.
IT alerting that reaches the right person
PulseStack watches your infrastructure from multiple locations and routes every incident to the eight channels your teams already use. Consecutive-failure thresholds 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.

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

Alerts land where your people already work. No new tool to check, no dashboard to babysit.
SMS and voice are a Team and Enterprise add-on. Every other channel is available across paid plans.
Every monitor runs from multiple regions at once so a single unhealthy node cannot trigger a false alarm.
A consecutive-failure threshold means PulseStack only alerts after a service fails the number of checks in a row you set.
Send the confirmed incident to the exact channels the responsible team lives in. No group inbox guesswork.
A recovery alert fires the moment the service is healthy again, so whoever responded knows it is resolved.
Alerting is only as good as what it watches. PulseStack covers the full surface, from a public URL to a background cron job.
Uptime, status codes and response time for any URL. Custom headers supported.
Confirm a word or phrase is present, or alert when a banned string appears.
Reachability of a host at the network layer without hitting an application.
Check a specific service port is open and answering.
Hit an endpoint with custom headers and validate the response.
Cron and background jobs check in on time, or you get paged when they miss.
Watch resolution and records so a bad change never goes unnoticed.
Track registration expiry dates well before they lapse.
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.
Dozens of properties across clients. Give each site its own monitor and its own Slack channel, and keep noise off the shared inbox with consecutive-failure thresholds.
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.

PulseStack includes eight alert channels: email, Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, PagerDuty, webhooks and Zapier. SMS and voice are available as an add-on and are included on the Team and Enterprise plans.
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.
Paid plans check as often as every 60 seconds, and the Enterprise plan checks every 30 seconds. The Free plan runs HTTP checks every 5 minutes.
