Gated on paid tiers (Starter onwards) for Slack, Discord, MS Teams, and Webhook dispatch channels.

Forwarding server outages to Discord channels is a popular choice for developer groups, open-source communities, and game servers. With Pingzo's Discord integration, you can dispatch styled, colored embed notification cards directly to a moderator chat.

Generating a Discord Webhook URL

Discord makes webhook creation straightforward. You do not need to build a bot app to receive server health alerts:

  1. Open Channel Settings: Navigate to your Discord server, hover over the channel where you want alerts to post, and click the Gear icon (Edit Channel).
  2. Open Integrations Tab: Click the Integrations option in the left sidebar menu.
  3. Configure Webhook: Click Create Webhook (or View Webhooks if you have existing integrations).
  4. Choose Channel and Name: Provide a name (like Pingzo Alerts) and confirm the target channel is correct.
  5. Copy Webhook URL: Click the Copy Webhook URL button.

Adding Discord to your Pingzo Dashboard

Connecting the channel takes just a few seconds:

  1. Navigate to the Alert Channels page in your Pingzo Dashboard.
  2. Click Add Channel and select Discord from the dropdown options.
  3. Paste the copied webhook URL directly into the destination field.
  4. Click Add Channel to save the configuration.
  5. Click Test next to your Discord channel to dispatch a verification message.

Premium Formatting: Rich Embeds

Discord supports markdown formatting and colored embed panels, which Pingzo utilizes for system events:

  • 🔴 Outage Alerts: Displayed with a bold red theme color and lists the exact monitor URL, downtime timestamp, and check error details.
  • ✅ Recovery Alerts: Displays with a green theme color and calculates the exact duration of the outage in minutes.
  • ⚠️ SSL Expiry Warnings: Sends a yellow warning embed card 30, 14, and 7 days before your certificate expires, prompting your admins to renew early.
