WhatsApp Website Down Alerts for Client Sites

Get WhatsApp website down alerts when a site experiences an extended outage. MonitoraWeb checks your websites, confirms downtime, and groups notifications so you can keep track of incidents without receiving a message for every failed check.

WhatsApp notifications come from MonitoraWeb's official business number through Meta's official API. Available with Pro and Agency.

WhatsApp website down alerts without constant notifications

When you're responsible for multiple websites, knowing which ones need attention is part of the job. You shouldn't have to rely on a customer reporting an outage before you can investigate.

MonitoraWeb gives you a way to:

  • Check website availability on a recurring schedule.
  • Receive WhatsApp notifications when confirmed downtime reaches the notification threshold.
  • Get grouped outage alerts instead of a separate message for every failed check.
  • Limit WhatsApp downtime notifications to two messages per day.
  • Review other events in a Monday summary.
  • Monitor up to 100 websites on Pro or 500 on Agency.

WhatsApp is one notification option within MonitoraWeb. For incidents that require action immediately after confirmation, you can use other supported channels.

How website monitoring with WhatsApp alerts works

Step 1: Add the websites you manage

Add the sites you want MonitoraWeb to monitor. Paid plans run scheduled checks every 60 seconds.

Depending on what you need to monitor, you can also configure HTTPS endpoint checks with request methods, headers, and expected response codes.

Step 2: MonitoraWeb confirms an outage

A single failed request isn't automatically treated as confirmed downtime.

MonitoraWeb checks from one monitoring location and confirms an outage after three consecutive failures, with retries at 10-second intervals.

This helps filter transient failures. It doesn't provide independent confirmation from multiple regions or guarantee that every false positive will be eliminated.

Step 3: WhatsApp notifications follow a defined delay

WhatsApp messages are not sent after the first failed check or immediately when an outage is confirmed.

MonitoraWeb sends a WhatsApp downtime notification when the outage reaches 15 minutes. If the server is entirely unresponsive, the threshold is 30 minutes.

Downtime notifications are grouped, with no more than two WhatsApp downtime messages per day.

Step 4: Review the issue in your dashboard

Use the MonitoraWeb dashboard to check the status of your monitored websites and decide what needs attention.

If you manage client websites, this information can support your troubleshooting workflow and help you communicate about an incident.

When does MonitoraWeb send downtime notifications?

Different alert channels serve different needs. MonitoraWeb doesn't use the same notification timing for every channel.

Channel Downtime notification timing
WhatsAppAt 15 minutes of downtime, or 30 minutes when the server is unresponsive
EmailAt 15 minutes of downtime, or 30 minutes when the server is unresponsive
SlackWhen downtime is confirmed
Microsoft TeamsWhen downtime is confirmed
DiscordWhen downtime is confirmed
TelegramWhen downtime is confirmed
Signed webhookWhen downtime is confirmed

Email notifications are available on Free. WhatsApp and the other channels listed above are available with paid plans.

If your team needs a notification as soon as an outage is confirmed, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, or a signed webhook may be a better fit.

WhatsApp is intended for grouped updates about outages that reach the configured notification thresholds.

Grouped WhatsApp alerts for multiple websites

Suppose you maintain dozens of client websites. If several sites fail checks during the same period, one message for every failed check would make it harder to focus on the incidents that matter.

MonitoraWeb groups downtime notifications to reduce that noise.

WhatsApp sends no more than two grouped downtime messages per day. Other events are included in a weekly summary sent on Mondays.

This approach works well when you want a concise overview rather than a separate message for every confirmed outage.

For individual notifications at the time of confirmation, choose another supported alert channel.

Native WhatsApp messaging through Meta's official API

MonitoraWeb uses Meta's official WhatsApp API to send notifications from its own business number.

The number of recipients depends on your subscription:

  • Pro: One WhatsApp recipient number.
  • Agency: Two WhatsApp recipient numbers.

Notifications are sent by MonitoraWeb. You don't need to manually compose a WhatsApp message whenever an outage occurs.

Message delivery also depends on WhatsApp availability and the applicable platform requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Are WhatsApp website down alerts sent instantly?

No. MonitoraWeb first confirms an outage through consecutive failed checks. WhatsApp notifications are sent when downtime reaches 15 minutes, or 30 minutes if the server is unresponsive. Checks every 60 seconds on paid plans do not mean WhatsApp messages arrive within 60 seconds.

How many WhatsApp numbers can receive alerts?

Pro supports one WhatsApp recipient number, and Agency supports two. Free does not include WhatsApp notifications.

Will I receive a WhatsApp message for every failed website?

Not necessarily. MonitoraWeb groups downtime notifications and sends a maximum of two WhatsApp downtime messages per day. Other events are summarized on Mondays.

Can my team receive notifications sooner through another channel?

Yes. On paid plans, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, and signed webhooks send notifications when an outage is confirmed. Email and WhatsApp follow the 15- or 30-minute downtime thresholds.

Does MonitoraWeb check websites from multiple locations?

No. Monitoring runs from a single location. An outage is confirmed after three consecutive failed checks, with 10-second retries. MonitoraWeb doesn't currently offer multi-region verification.

Do I need my own WhatsApp API account?

MonitoraWeb sends notifications from its official WhatsApp number through Meta's API. Pro and Agency include WhatsApp notifications within their stated recipient limits. You pay for your MonitoraWeb subscription in US dollars through PayPal.
