Sometimes you don’t want to just be notified — you want your systems to do something the moment a change happens.
That’s exactly what Webhooks let you do, and Funny Monitors supports them out of the box on every plan.
Webhooks give you the flexibility to connect our monitoring system to your own tools, scripts, workflows, or third-party services. Whether you want to trigger a CI/CD pipeline, open a support ticket, update a dashboard, or post to your internal tools — Webhooks let you build the response that’s right for you.
No complex APIs. No polling. Just fast, event-driven, real-time communication from Funny Monitors to wherever you need.
A webhook is a simple HTTP request sent from Funny Monitors to a URL you specify when something happens — such as:
• A monitor goes down
• A monitor recovers
• A maintenance window starts or ends
• A certificate or domain is nearing expiry
We send a POST request with JSON payloads to your webhook endpoint, containing everything you need to act: monitor ID, name, status, reason, timestamp, and more.
This is the same approach used by services like UptimeRobot, and is compatible with thousands of automation platforms, from Zapier to custom-built devops stacks.
Why Use Webhooks?
Webhooks are ideal when you want more than just a notification — you want automation.
Some examples:
• Auto-open tickets in Jira or Zendesk or Zoho Desk
• Trigger redeployment of a service or container
• Push incident data into your own database
• Log downtime to your internal auditing or SLA systems
If it accepts HTTP requests, it can work with Funny Monitors.
Webhooks turn Funny Monitors into a core building block of your incident response system — without locking you into one tool or platform.
Flexible, Developer-Friendly JSON Payloads
We keep our webhook payloads simple, predictable, and well-documented. They include structured data you can parse easily, such as:
• Monitor name and ID
• Event type (e.g. down, up, maintenance_start)
• HTTP status code (if applicable)
• Time of event (UTC)
• Direct link to the affected monitor
If you’ve ever used UptimeRobot’s webhooks, you’ll feel right at home. If not, you’ll still be up and running in minutes — no SDK required.
Secure by Design
Webhooks include several built-in options to keep things safe:
• Custom secrets and tokens: Add authentication headers or query parameters so only you can receive the webhook.
• SSL required: We only send to HTTPS URLs to protect your data in transit.
• Rate limiting: We control delivery to prevent spamming your endpoint with retry storms.
• Retries: We’ll reattempt failed deliveries to ensure reliability.
Want even more control? You can configure different webhooks for different monitors, or split events by type.
Included with Every Plan
We don’t believe in gating critical functionality behind high-tier plans. Just like with Slack, Teams, and Google Chat — Webhooks are available to everyone, on every Funny Monitors plan.
Whether you’re on Starter, Pro, or Business, you can use Webhooks to automate your workflow and integrate monitoring directly into your stack.
No upsells. No feature locks. Just powerful extensibility, ready when you are.
Easy to Set Up
Creating a webhook takes seconds:
1. Paste in your destination URL
2. Choose what events should trigger the webhook
3. Assign it to one or more monitors
That’s it. From then on, Funny Monitors will send structured webhook notifications automatically — no polling, no waiting.
Funny Monitors helps you stay informed, but more importantly, helps you respond. Webhooks give you the power to build the exact automation you need — whether that’s opening a ticket, sending a message, or auto-scaling a cluster.
Webhooks are available on all plans. Reliable, configurable, and dev-ready.
