Every alert, routed
Every alert, routed
to the right person.
Email, SMS, Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram, and webhooks, with per-monitor routing rules and severity filtering, so the right person gets paged at the right time.

2-minute setup
Every channel, every rule, one place.
Notification routing in Site Qwality is per-monitor and per-severity. A critical failure on your payment API can page the on-call engineer via SMS, post to #sre in Slack, and open a webhook to your incident tool, all from one rule.
Per-monitor routing rules
Configure notification rules independently for each monitor so the payment API alerts differently from a low-priority blog health check.
Severity-based routing
Route critical alerts to SMS and Slack, warnings to email only, and informational events to a webhook log. Silence and noise are both controlled.
On-call schedules
Route pages through an on-call schedule so the person who is on shift gets the alert. Quiet hours and digest delivery are not built yet.
Team and personal channels
Notify a shared Slack channel for team awareness and simultaneously page an individual engineer via SMS for immediate personal response.
Notification groups
Bundle multiple channels into a group. Assign the group to a monitor and update recipients in one place without editing every monitor.
Route by what matters
Critical gets SMS.
Critical gets SMS.
Warning gets email.
Not every alert deserves the same urgency. Severity-based routing lets you configure which channels fire at which thresholds, so critical failures wake people up and warnings stay in the inbox for the morning standup.
- Separate routing rules for critical, warning, and recovery
- On-call schedules route pages to the person on shift
- Escalation policies kick in if no one acknowledges

FAQ
Email, SMS, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and outbound webhooks. Mobile push and browser notifications are not available yet.
Yes. A single monitor can have multiple notification rules that fire simultaneously. For example, SMS to the on-call engineer and a Slack message to the #sre channel at the same time.
Not yet. Alerts go out when the check fails. Use an on-call schedule if you want only the person on shift to be paged.
SMS is built in, with no Twilio account required. It is billed as purchased credits, not as an unlimited per-message add-on.
A notification group is a reusable bundle of channels and recipients. Assign the group to any monitor and update its members in one place. All monitors using that group are updated automatically.
