Direct email notifications for teams that want alerts in the inbox.
Alert Integrations & Notification Channels
NorthDuty turns monitoring signals into alerts and delivers them where your team already works. You can route alerts to nine channel types — email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, custom webhooks, Telegram, SMS, and WhatsApp — and control which signals fire with threshold-based alert rules.
Route alerts to email, Slack, and webhooks so the right people hear first.
Every signal, routed to the right place
Monitoring only helps if the right people hear about a problem quickly. NorthDuty connects each project to the notification channels your team uses, so health, journey, and visual-change signals reach the inbox, chat channel, or phone that gets seen.
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, and custom webhooks are delivered as an HTTP POST to a per-channel webhook URL, so they fit existing channel and automation setups. Telegram delivers through a bot, and SMS and WhatsApp are delivered via Twilio.
Supported notification channels
Nine channel types, grouped by how they deliver.
Webhook family
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, and custom webhooks — each delivered as an HTTP POST to a per-channel webhook URL.
Messaging apps
Telegram via a bot, plus SMS and WhatsApp delivered through Twilio for alerts that reach a phone.
Custom webhooks
Post alerts to your own endpoint to drive on-call tooling, automations, or internal dashboards.
Decide what fires an alert
Alert rules turn monitoring signals into thresholds before anything is sent to a channel.
Threshold rules for health, journeys, visual diffs, and SSL
Configure alerts for health score, response time, failed user journeys, visual differences, and SSL expiry, then route them to your connected channels.
Why flexible alert routing matters
Different signals deserve different urgency and different channels.
- Reach the team where they already work — chat, email, or phone
- Route urgent signals to SMS or WhatsApp and routine ones to chat or email
- Drive on-call tooling and automations with custom webhooks
- Control noise with threshold-based alert rules per signal
- Use the same rules across health, journey, and visual-change signals
