Dashboard → Integrations → Slack → Connect, pick your alert channel, approve.

A slack_app alert channel is created automatically. New monitors are routed to it by default.

Detail walkthrough: Slack integration.

bash
curl -X POST https://happyuptime.com/api/v1/status-pages \  -H "Authorization: Bearer hu_your_api_key" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"name":"Acme Status","slug":"acme","template":"minimal","brand_color":"#34d399"}'

Add components in Dashboard → Status Pages, or via the status page components API. Now live at https://happyuptime.com/status/acme. Custom domain via Custom domain guide.

Create the schedule in Dashboard → On-call, or use the on-call schedules API.

Then add an alert rule that pages the schedule:

bash
curl -X POST https://happyuptime.com/api/v1/alerts/rules \  -H "Authorization: Bearer hu_your_api_key" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"name":"Page on-call on critical","severity":"critical","notify_oncall":true}'

Detail walkthrough: First on-call rotation.
