Example

Let’s say you want to be notified when a scheduled task or backup fails on any of your sites:

  1. Click Create Alert Rule

  2. Name it something like “Critical Task Alerts”

  3. Select:

    • “Scheduled task failed”

    • “Backup has failed”

  4. Choose all sites (or just your client sites)

  5. Add your email address

  6. Tick Enable and hit Create

Done. You’ll now receive alerts in real-time whenever those events occur.

Why This Matters

Proactive monitoring is the key to fast response times and better uptime. Alert Rules ensure:

  • You fix problems before clients notice

  • Nothing slips through the cracks

  • Your team gets notified the moment something critical breaks

When combined with our monitoring and backup systems, Alert Rules create a powerful safety net across your entire website fleet.
