How it works
Each channel proves it works before it carries an alert.
Add a channel
An e-mail address is confirmed by a link its owner opens; every other channel is confirmed by a test message.
Send a test
Send a test message and look for it where the channel posts. The page shows when the last test was sent.
One alert per outage
An alert when two regions agree that a site is down, and another when it has recovered. The same channels carry certificate, domain, search-risk and slowdown warnings.

What each region saw
Every incident alert lists each region’s result and time, and links to the incident page with the evidence.
Destinations stored encrypted
Addresses and signing secrets are stored encrypted.
Signed webhooks, from Team
A webhook carries a signature you can verify, so your system knows the alert came from Beamfar.
Tested against the documentation
The newer channels were tested against each service’s documented formats, not yet against the services themselves.
Which plans include it
Every plan alerts by e-mail and push; the plan decides the other channels and how many.

Questions about alert channels
Which channels come with which plan?
E-mail and push on every plan, Free included; Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, PagerDuty, Opsgenie and ntfy from Solo; signed webhooks from Team.
Will one region’s blip wake me up?
No. An alert is sent when two regions agree that a site is down; one region failing alone is a regional issue and sends nothing.
Can a client receive the alerts too?
Yes. A client’s e-mail address works: its owner confirms it by e-mail first, and until then it receives nothing.
How do I know a channel works?
Each channel is confirmed by a test message. On Alerts, press “Send a test alert” and check that it arrived.
