Do status page subscribers get notified about updates?

Yes. Anyone who subscribes to your status page gets notified automatically when you post an update.

Status page subscription options

Your visitors can subscribe through either of these channels:

• Email: they enter their email address and confirm the subscription.
• Slack: they connect the Oh Dear Slack app to their workspace and pick a channel.

Both get a message the moment you publish a new update.

Prefer to pull instead of being pushed?

Every status page also exposes read-only RSS, JSON, and XML feeds. Perfect for feed readers or piping status into another system, no subscription required.

When subscriber notifications fire

Subscribers hear from you whenever you post a new status page update (Info, Warning, High, Resolved, or Scheduled). Automatic status transitions triggered by your monitors do not notify subscribers by default, so your users only get a message when there's something worth saying.

Managing status page subscribers

You can see your subscriber list in the status page settings, including unsubscribe links and subscription sources. Subscribers can unsubscribe at any time from the link in any email we send them.
