Minimize harm and server downtime with Better Stack

While the rest of us think "snow day!" when our team chat app is down, server downtime can seriously hurt a business. 

Better Stack helps engineering teams monitor critical infrastructure, ensure on-call coverage, and easily communicate and resolve incidents before they escalate. 

Unfortunately, server incidents don't wait for the perfect moment to occur, so you need to alert teams fast so they can jump into action. Thankfully, your engineers don't need to be glued to their screens to ensure a rapid response. 

You can create a simple Zap (our word for automated workflows) that will automatically send a Discord channel message whenever there's a new or updated incident in Better Stack. You can alert the right people about new incidents and provide ongoing updates until everything is resolved. 

From left to right: A new Better Stack incident triggers a Zap that automatically sends a Discord channel message.

The challenge: Server incidents are unpredictable, so you need to ensure issues are caught early, before they escalate.

The solution: Notify your team wherever they're at. Automatically send alerts in a Discord channel whenever there's a new or updated incident in Better Stack. 

Ready to try it yourself? To get started with a Zap template—our pre-made workflows—just click on it, and we'll guide you through the set-up process. It only takes a few minutes.
