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 all plans. Custom embed styling requires Pro or Business.
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 the Discord channel in Uptimera
In Uptimera, Settings → Alert Channels → "Add Discord". Paste the webhook URL and pick the default monitor routing.
- 3
Customize message style (optional)
Uptimera posts as rich embeds by default — incident title, monitor name, last response, and a link back to the dashboard. Toggle off the embed if your channel prefers plain text.
- 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 secret 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 — 30 messages per minute per webhook. Uptimera respects the rate limit and queues bursts. If you expect heavy alert volume, route different monitors to different webhooks.
Can I @-mention a role?
Yes. Configure a role ID per channel — Uptimera will include the role mention in incident-open messages. Recovery messages don't mention by default.
Is the webhook URL sensitive?
Treat it as a secret. Anyone with the URL can post to that channel. Uptimera stores it encrypted and only exposes a masked version in the dashboard.
