Alerts and Notifications
How Cheetah Ping notifies you when changes are detected.
When Cheetah Ping detects a change on a monitored page, it sends you an alert through your configured notification channels.
Email alerts
Email is the default notification channel. Every account gets email alerts at no extra cost. Each alert email includes:
- The monitor name and URL
- A summary of what changed
- A visual diff showing the before and after
- A link to view the full change log
Webhook notifications
You can also receive alerts via webhooks, which integrate with Slack, Discord, and other services.
Slack
To set up Slack notifications:
- Go to Settings in your Cheetah Ping dashboard
- Add a Slack incoming webhook URL
- Alerts will be posted to the channel associated with that webhook
Discord
Discord also supports incoming webhooks:
- In your Discord server, go to Channel Settings > Integrations > Webhooks
- Create a new webhook and copy the URL
- Paste it in your Cheetah Ping notification settings
Custom webhooks
You can use any URL that accepts POST requests. Cheetah Ping sends a JSON payload with the monitor details and change summary.
Notification settings
Configure your notification preferences from the Settings page in the dashboard. You can:
- Enable or disable email alerts
- Add or remove webhook URLs
- Test your notification setup with a test alert
Change history
Every detected change is logged with a timestamp, diff, and optional AI summary. View your change history from the monitor detail page. History retention depends on your plan:
| Plan | History retention |
|---|---|
| Free | 7 days |
| Starter | 30 days |
| Pro | 90 days |
| Ultra | 180 days |
