Connect Better Uptime and Google Sheets

Better Uptime alerts the on-call person. A spreadsheet is where many teams keep the history: when each incident started and ended, which monitors were paused or changed, and who was on call. FlowMattic writes all three to Google Sheets, and a sheet of client URLs can create new monitors for you.

When Better Uptime fires Monitor Notification, FlowMattic runs Add New Row in Google Sheets with the data from that event.

Better Uptime and Google Sheets workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Ready-made template

Log every monitor created, paused, updated or deleted

A change history of your monitors shows who paused what and when, which helps when an outage went unnoticed because a check was switched off.

Monitor NotificationAdd New Row

View the template

Keep one row per incident from start to resolution

The first notification adds a row. Later acknowledge and resolve notifications find it by incident ID and fill in those times, so each outage reads as one line.

Incident NotificationLookup Row DataRouterUpdate Row

Record the on-call rota as it changes

Each handover adds a row with the new on-call contact and time, giving managers a record for overtime pay or post-incident reviews.

On-call Contact ChangeAdd New Row

Add monitors from a sheet of client sites

Agencies list each new client URL in a row and a monitor is created for it, so no site goes live without uptime checks.

New Spreadsheet RowCreate Monitor

Refresh a sheet listing all your monitors

A weekly Schedule gets every monitor and imports the list into a tab, so account managers can check coverage without a Better Uptime login.

ScheduleGet All MonitorsImport CSV or JSON to Existing Sheet

Open an incident when staff mark a site as down

When someone sets a status column to Down for a problem no monitor catches, an incident is created and the current on-call person is alerted.

Update Specific Column ValueFilterCreate Incident

Set up: a log of monitor changes

When you are done, each monitor change in Better Uptime adds a dated row to your log sheet.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

Incident Notification fires when an incident is created, acknowledged or resolved, so one trigger covers all three. Use a Router on the event type to treat them differently.
Monitor Notification also covers paused, unpaused and deleted monitors. Add a Filter if you only want, for example, pauses in the log.
Better Uptime's actions here create monitors, incidents and status pages but do not edit or delete a monitor, so changing an existing check still happens in Better Uptime.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Better Uptime and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Your incident history, your copy

Incident and monitor data go from Better Uptime to your sheet through your own WordPress server, not another automation service.

A bad night costs the same

Runs are unlimited, so a flapping monitor that sends dozens of notifications does not use up a task allowance.

Reports anyone can read

Clients and managers who never open Better Uptime can see outage durations and on-call cover in a shared sheet.

Common questions

How do I log Better Uptime incidents in Google Sheets?

Use the Incident Notification trigger and Google Sheets Add New Row. To keep one row per incident, look up the incident ID first and update the existing row when the incident is acknowledged or resolved.

Can I work out how long each outage lasted?

Yes. Store the created and resolved times in their own columns and use a sheet formula for the difference. Date/Time Formatter can put both in a format the sheet reads as a date.

Can I create status pages from a sheet?

Yes. A New Spreadsheet Row trigger can run Create Status Page, then Create Status Page Section and Create Status Page Resource to add monitors to it.

Who gets alerted when the sheet creates an incident?

Create Incident alerts the current on-call person in Better Uptime, the same as an incident from a failed check.
