Connect Pulsetic and Slack

Pulsetic watches your websites and endpoints. FlowMattic posts each monitor event to Slack the way your team responds to it: downtime straight to whoever is on call, recoveries to the channel, a dedicated incident channel for longer outages and the current state in the channel topic. For developers, agencies and site owners who monitor uptime with Pulsetic.

When Pulsetic fires New Monitor Event, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Pulsetic and Slack 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.

Send a Slack alert for every Pulsetic monitor event

Each event posts the monitor name, URL and status to the alerts channel, so the team knows a site went down or came back without checking the Pulsetic dashboard.

DM the on-call person when a site goes down

A Branch checks the status. Down events reach the on-call developer by direct message, while recoveries post quietly to the channel.

Open an incident channel for each outage

On a down event, Create Channel names a channel after the monitor and date and Invite User To Channel adds the people who fix it, so the incident has one place to talk.

Show each site's current state in the channel topic

Set Channel Topic writes the latest monitor and status, so anyone opening the alerts channel sees at once whether something is down right now.

Send each client's monitors to their own channel

Agencies add a Router on the monitor name, so each client's site reports to that client's channel and account managers see only their sites.

Set your Slack status while a site is down

For solo developers, Set Status shows you are handling an outage, so clients and colleagues in your workspace know why you are slow to reply.

Set up: monitor events in Slack

At the end, every Pulsetic monitor event posts the monitor, URL and status in your alerts channel.

  1. Connect Slack

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add the Slack workspace that should receive uptime alerts.

  2. Start with New Monitor Event

    Create a workflow with Pulsetic and the New Monitor Event trigger, and complete the connection the trigger step asks for.

  3. Trigger a test event

    Point a test monitor at a URL that fails so FlowMattic captures a down event.

  4. Post to Slack

    Add Slack Send Channel Message, choose the alerts channel, map the monitor fields, test the step and switch the workflow on.

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

  • New Monitor Event carries every kind of event, down and up alike. Branch or Filter on the status before steps that should run only for outages.
  • Create Channel fails if the name is taken. Add the date or time to the channel name so a second outage on the same site gets its own channel.
  • Set Status changes the status of the Slack account you connected, so use it only when that account belongs to the person on call.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Pulsetic and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Outages wake the right person

Down events reach the person on call directly, while recoveries and minor events stay in the channel.

Monitor every client site

Runs are unlimited on every FlowMattic plan, so an agency watching dozens of sites pays nothing per alert.

Runs on your own server

Alerts are handled on your WordPress site rather than another company's automation account. Host it apart from the sites it watches, so an outage does not take the alerts down too.

Common questions

How do I send Pulsetic alerts to Slack?

Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Pulsetic New Monitor Event trigger, complete its connection, then add Slack Send Channel Message with the monitor, URL and status mapped into the text.

Can only downtime reach the on-call person?

Yes. Add a Branch on the status after the trigger. The down path uses Send Direct Message, the up path posts to the channel.

Can each outage get its own channel?

Yes. Filter for down events, then use Create Channel with the monitor name and date, and Invite User To Channel to add the responders.

What if my WordPress site is the one that is down?

Then that site cannot run the workflow. Run FlowMattic on a WordPress site hosted separately from the sites you monitor.

Can I keep an incident log?

Yes. Add a Google Sheets or WP Tables step to the same workflow, so each event is posted to Slack and kept with its time for reports.
