Introducing a Free Webhook for Simple Downtime and Error Alerts

If you run an app, a website, or even a side project, you already know the truth: things break at the worst possible time.

A server goes down. A deployment misbehaves. A background job silently fails. And the real pain is not that it happened, it’s that you didn’t find out until users did.

That’s exactly why I built a new, simple webhook tool that anyone can use for free. It’s designed to help you notify yourself when something goes wrong, without needing to set up a full monitoring stack.

What it does

At its core, the app is a webhook endpoint you can call from anywhere.

When your system detects a problem, you send a request to the webhook. The app will:

• Log everything you send so you have a clear record of incidents and payload details
• Send an email notification so you know immediately something needs attention

This works great for:

• Uptime checks (site is down, API is unreachable)
• Error handlers (your app catches an exception and reports it)
• Automation failures (a scheduled job didn’t run, a workflow crashed)
• Anything else that deserves a “hey, look at this now” message

Built for simplicity

You don’t need to install an agent. You don’t need special infrastructure.

If your app can make an HTTP request, you can use this. That means it fits neatly into server-side applications, CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and no-code tools that can call webhooks.

Email notifications (free, with a fair limit)

To keep it free and reliable for everyone, email sending includes a small cap:

• Up to 5 email notifications per day

That’s usually enough to cover “something is down” or “something is failing” without turning your inbox into a firehose.

Need higher limits? Use your own email provider via Brevo

If your use case requires more than 5 emails a day, you can plug in your own email sending through Brevo using the custom API option.

• Emails are sent using your own Brevo account
• Your sending capacity depends on your Brevo plan and limits
• You keep full control over deliverability and scale

This keeps the app simple for everyone, while power users can scale without friction.

Why I made this

Monitoring tools are great, but not everyone needs a complex platform or paid plan just to get basic alerts.

Sometimes you just want a webhook you can hit, a log of what happened, and an email that tells you to go check. This is built to be that lightweight missing piece.

Get started

Start sending events in minutes. Use it for uptime pings, error reports, or “this should never happen” alerts. The app will store the payload and notify you so you can take action fast.
