Website monitoring with SMS alerts
Get a text when your website or API goes down—so you can fix it fast.
What to monitor
- Marketing site (protect paid campaigns)
- App login and checkout pages
- API health endpoint (e.g., /health)
- Critical background jobs (via a heartbeat endpoint)
Why SMS
SMS is harder to miss than email—especially when you’re away from your laptop. It’s ideal for founders without an on-call rotation.
Avoid alert fatigue
StatusMonkey follows up until you acknowledge, so important incidents don’t disappear in notification noise.
