Page your on-call team from alert emails

Backup jobs, NAS boxes, legacy monitoring: if it sends an email when something breaks, it can page your team. Webalert gives each integration its own address, opens an incident for a new alert subject, and resolves it when the recovery email arrives.

No credit card · on-call for up to 5 responders · Any tool that can send or forward an email.

    In Webalert, go to Integrations → Add integration → Email, pick the escalation policy to page, and save to get the integration’s email address.

  2. 2

    Add the address as an alert recipient in your tool, or set up a forwarding rule for its alert emails. Restrict allowed senders if you like.

What Webalert does with Email alerts

  • Opens an incident for a new subject and pages the escalation policy.
  • Adds later emails with the same subject to that incident’s timeline.
  • Resolves it when the subject contains resolved, recovered, recovery or is up.
  • Ignores words like PROBLEM, RECOVERY or DOWN/UP when pairing emails.

Who gets paged comes from your on-call rotation and escalation policy. Each person picks how they’re reached: SMS, phone call, email, push or Slack.

Questions

Which plans include the Email integration?
Starter includes 3 inbound integrations and Business includes unlimited. Phone and SMS paging is the on-call add-on at €12 per responder a month, and every trial includes it for up to 5 responders.
Does it page by phone?
Yes. Each person sets how they’re paged, for example SMS right away and a call after 2 minutes. Press 1 on the call or reply 1 to the SMS to acknowledge and stop the escalation.
What if nobody answers?
The escalation policy moves to the next level: the secondary, then the team lead, as many levels as you set. A page that can’t reach anyone escalates straight away.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Every new account gets a 14-day trial with on-call for up to 5 responders, no credit card.
