Email integration

Send plain-text alert emails to one or more addresses when monitors change state.

Last updated April 21, 2026

The Email integration delivers monitor alerts directly to any inbox. It's the simplest integration to configure — no OAuth, no webhook, no API key.

Setting up Email

  1. Go to Integrations → Add Integration and choose Email.
  2. Give the integration a name (e.g. On-call inbox).
  3. Enter one or more email addresses, separated by commas or new lines.
  4. Choose which events to fire on: Monitor down, Monitor recovery, or Maintenance mode.
  5. Click Save, then Send Test to confirm delivery.

Multiple addresses per integration

A single email integration can fan out to several recipients. For distinct routing rules — say, customer-facing vs. engineering — create separate integrations so each has its own event selection and on/off toggle.

Prefer a distribution list or alias (e.g. [email protected]) over hardcoding individual addresses. That way you can rotate the on-call roster in your email provider without editing StatusOwl.

Deliverability

Alerts are sent from a verified StatusOwl sending domain with proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. If messages land in spam for your recipients, add the sender address to your corporate allowlist.
