New Integration: Mattermost

We’ve just added an integration with Mattermost which means you can now get all of your StatusCake alerts through to this application. Mattermost is a deployable, cloud based, open source alternative to services like Slack, HipChat, and Pushover. The focus is on security and collaboration, with all of the usual essential team functionalities such as File Sharing, Custom integrations, threaded conversations and group messaging.

New Feature : Advanced Email Reporting

Today we have released our new reporting tool which can be used to send out automated email reports for Uptime, SSL, Domain and Virus type tests. If you want to get stuck in right away, the new email reporting functions can be found within the User Details section of the StatusCake app. Here you can manage reports that you have created previously, and add new ones.

Use Case: Using Maintenance Windows to Set Up Alert Schedules

For many of our users reacting to downtime data sent from a monitoring system such as StatusCake.com is a 24 hour job, and the process incorporates many staff who will have varying responsibilities, and sometimes work quite different hours. This is particularly true of companies who run “follow-the-sun” with their global dev-ops teams picking up the baton from the last as their time zone starts its working day.

Monday Update: Customer Survey, Telegram Integration, Atlassian & Slack, Browser Extensions, and SSL
