Browser push notifications
Why push exists
Section titled “Why push exists”UptimeMonitoring has no email system by design. Browser push notifications fill the human alerting gap — one-click opt-in, no PII, and instant delivery.
How to enable
Section titled “How to enable”- Log in to app.uptimemonitoring.com
- Click the bell icon or “Enable notifications” prompt
- Allow notifications in your browser
That’s it. No email, no phone number, no configuration.
What events trigger notifications
Section titled “What events trigger notifications”- Monitor down — when a monitor’s state flips to down (after cross-region confirmation)
- Monitor up — when a previously-down monitor recovers
Subscription management
Section titled “Subscription management”Manage your push subscriptions from the dashboard. You can:
- View active subscriptions (browser + OS)
- Remove individual subscriptions
- Test notifications
Known browser limitations
Section titled “Known browser limitations”- Safari on iOS — requires adding the site to your home screen first
- Incognito / private mode — push subscriptions don’t persist
- Multiple devices — each browser/device requires a separate opt-in
- Browser must be running — notifications queue until the browser is open (behavior varies by OS)
