Test notifications
Once you’ve configured one or more notification methods (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Email, Webhooks, etc.), it’s a good idea to test them to make sure alerts from StatusGator are delivered properly.
How to test notifications
- Go to the Integrations tab.
- At the top, click Test integrations.
- Note: You must have set up an integration first before testing.
- In the pop-up, choose which integration you want to test (if you have multiple).
- Pick one of your services (monitor) to use as the test case.
- Click Send test.
You’ll see a pop-up confirming that the test notification has been sent. Notifications will go to all channels you currently have enabled. The test uses a real recent event (Up, Down, Warn, or Maintenance) from the selected service.
What to expect
- You’ll receive a test alert in all enabled channels for the integration you chose.
- The content is based on a recent event so you can see exactly what such notifications look like.
- If you don’t get the notification, double-check that the integration is correctly configured and that the correct channels are enabled.
