Checks that only speak up when something changed
A good alert is quiet most of the time. ClickRuntime scripts can remember values between runs, so a check can compare this run with the last one and stay silent unless something actually changed: the page went down, the price moved, a new item appeared in the feed.
Things people monitor
- Uptime and response time for a page or API endpoint.
- A vendor's status page, so you hear about incidents in your own Slack.
- Prices, stock levels or plan pages on sites you watch.
- RSS feeds, changelogs and release pages for new entries.
- Business numbers from your own API: failed payments, sign-ups, queue length.
Where alerts go
Email to you works with no setup: the script sends to your account's verified address. Slack works once you connect your workspace with Slack's own consent screen. For anything else, such as SMS through Twilio, save the provider's API key as a secret and the script uses it directly.
Know that the monitor itself is working
Your ClickRuntime home shows a "Needs attention" strip for any automation whose last run failed or that is waiting on setup. Each run has a log, so you can tell the difference between "the site is fine" and "the check didn't run".
