Integrating StatusGator with Webhooks
Overview
StatusGator can send an HTTP POST request to a URL of your choosing whenever the status of one of your monitors changes. This is the easiest and fastest way to get real-time notifications of outages to an internal system or a provider not already supported by a native integration.
Configuring
1. Webhooks can be configured by clicking the Integrations menu tab. When viewing the integrations page, click Advanced on the left, and find Webhook in the list and then click the Add button.
2. A valid HTTP or HTTPS URL will be required to save and activate the integration.
Format
StatusGator's latest webhook schema version is 3.0, released June 2025. If you created your integration prior to its release, you're likely on version 2.0. Please note that this legacy version is deprecated and will eventually be removed but you will be notified well in advance of its removal. We recommend everyone use 3.0, which is now the only version available to new users.
Failures and Retries
If StatusGator is unable to receive a 200 response from your webhook URL five times, your webhook integration will be disabled. To fix the webhook URL visit your dashboard and click the Integrations button in the header and fix any issues with your URL to re-activate the webhook.
Non-connection-related failures will be retried 20 times over a period of 24 days. StatusGator waits a period of time between retries. This delay increases starting a few seconds growing to over a day before exhausting all retries. When retries are exhausted, the webhook is discarded.
Logs
You can select the Logs menu tab and check your webhook integration response.
You can test your Webhook integration by clicking on the Test Integrations button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
A window will pop up, where you need to choose the monitor and integration (Webhooks in this case) you want to test it out with.
