Get an email when an app goes down

Hear about an outage before your team does. Email us once and we’ll tell you when an app you rely on reports a major outage, and again when it’s working.

How to sign up

  1. Write an email to [email protected].
  2. Put the app’s name in the subject, like Watch Slack. For more than one app, separate them with commas: Watch Slack, Notion, Zoom.
  3. Send it. We reply to confirm which apps you’re watching.

To hear about smaller problems and planned maintenance too, add all problems to the subject.

Subject
Watch Slack, Notion

Write the email

You sign up by sending one email, so nobody else can use your address. Every alert has a stop link. Add "all problems" to the subject to hear about small problems too.

Questions

Why do I email you instead of filling in a form?

So nobody can sign up someone else. We only ever email the address that emailed us, and only when the email really came from that address. Nobody types an email address anywhere on Appys.

What counts as a major outage?

An app is in a major outage when its own status page says so: a whole service is down, not just slow. We use the app’s own words, never our guess.

How do I stop?

Every alert has a stop link, which takes one click. To stop everything at once, email [email protected] with Stop in the subject.

Do you share my address?

No. We use it only to send the alerts you asked for, and it’s deleted when you stop. See the privacy policy.

Which apps can I watch?

Any app on Appys. If we can’t find a name, we’ll tell you in our reply.
