Slack has become one of the most popular tools in recent years. Slack is used for a lot of work and communication in many industries. They're a crowd pleaser! We've integrated with Slack so you can get your alerts exactly where the action is!

StatusGator is a status data platform: We ingest data from almost 2,000 services by extracting and normalizing their official, public status page information.

Next to a large collection of checks, Oh Dear offers the ability to easily create beautiful status pages. This way, you can communicate the status of your sites and services to your users. Take a look at the Oh Dear powered status pages for Flare and Laravel. Today, we added the ability to view the status page as JSON (or XML if that is your thing). You just have to append /json (or /xml to the status page URL. So for the Laravel status page, you'll find the JSON at status.laravel.com/json.

With so much reliance on online services and applications these days, a status page is essential to a business, its support and IT teams. It’s a key component in your incident communication strategy. Communicating the status of your website or service to users (particularly customers) creates trust and keeps them updated—especially during downtimes. Plus, it saves you from sending out emails or using other time-consuming methods to provide status updates.
