Community status updates
Open-source projects can post outages to a #status Discord channel where contributors and users see them.
Chat integration
Uptimera + Discord
Send Uptimera incident and recovery alerts to a Discord channel using Discord's built-in incoming webhooks. Common for indie hackers, gaming communities, open-source projects, and any team where Discord is the primary chat surface instead of Slack.
Availability: Available on the Business plan — delivered through a webhook alert channel, which is a Business-plan feature. Free and Pro plans use email and Slack.
Setup
- 1
Create a Discord webhook
In Discord, open the target channel → Edit Channel (gear icon) → Integrations → Webhooks → "New Webhook". Name it "Uptimera" and copy the webhook URL.
- 2
Add a Discord webhook channel in Uptimera
In Uptimera, open Alerts → Add Channel → Webhook, then set the Format to "Discord". Paste the webhook URL. Optionally add a Discord role ID to @-mention on incident open.
- 3
Attach it to your monitors and pick your alerts
Add the channel to the monitors it should watch. Incidents post as a red embed and recoveries as a green embed, each with the monitor name, a link back to the monitored URL, and a timestamp.
- 4
Test it
Send a test alert. If the message doesn't arrive, re-check that the webhook URL is the full URL including the token suffix Discord generated.
What teams do with this
Indie hacker on-call
If you're the only person on-call, Discord notifications on your phone are a free and effective paging surface.
Game server monitoring
Monitor your game's API and match servers. Discord alerts go to the same place your community already is.
Common questions
Does Discord rate-limit webhook posts?
Yes, Discord rate-limits incoming webhooks. Uptimera only posts on status transitions (down and back up), not on every check, so a single monitor produces very few messages and won't approach Discord's per-webhook limits.
Can I @-mention a role?
Yes. Add a role ID to the Discord channel and Uptimera includes the role mention on incident-open messages. Recovery messages don't mention the role, to keep the all-clear quiet.
Is the webhook URL sensitive?
Yes — treat it as a secret. Anyone with the URL can post to that channel, so only share it with people who administer your alerts.
