Integrate Opsgenie with Uptime Robot
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Uptime Robot sends Webhook notifications of downtime and uptime events. With the Uptime Robot integration, Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these alerts and determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the Integration work?
When an alert is created in Uptime Robot, an alert is also created in Opsgenie.
When the alert is closed in Uptime Robot, the related alert is also closed in Opsgenie.
Set up the integration
