PingBase Webhook Integration — POST to any URL on downtime

Webhook payload

PingBase sends a POST request with a JSON body to your endpoint when a monitor changes state:

{
  "event": "monitor.down",
  "monitor": {
    "id": "mon_abc123",
    "name": "Production API",
    "url": "https://api.yourapp.com/health"
  },
  "incident": {
    "started_at": "2026-04-05T14:32:00Z",
    "status_code": 503,
    "error": "Service Unavailable"
  },
  "checked_at": "2026-04-05T14:32:15Z"
}

For recovery events, event is "monitor.up" and the payload includes incident.duration_seconds.

Add a webhook channel

Via dashboard

Go to Settings → Alert Channels → Add channel → Webhook. Enter your endpoint URL and save.

Via API

curl -X POST https://pingbase-worker.workers.dev/api/alert-channels \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "webhook",
    "name": "PagerDuty",
    "webhook_url": "https://events.pagerduty.com/v2/enqueue"
  }'

Common use cases

PagerDuty / OpsGenie

Route incidents to your on-call rotation. Use the PagerDuty Events API v2 URL as the webhook endpoint.

Zapier / Make

Chain downtime events to any action — send an SMS, create a Jira ticket, update a Google Sheet, post to any service Zapier supports.

Custom internal dashboards

POST events to your own backend to aggregate monitoring data alongside your other telemetry.

Telegram / custom bots

Route to a small proxy server that reformats the payload and forwards to any channel not natively supported.

Receiving webhooks (Node.js example)

import express from 'express'

const app = express()
app.use(express.json())

app.post('/pingbase-webhook', (req, res) => {
  const { event, monitor, incident } = req.body

  if (event === 'monitor.down') {
    console.log(`ALERT: ${monitor.name} is DOWN — ${incident.error}`)
    // send SMS, create ticket, etc.
  }

  if (event === 'monitor.up') {
    console.log(`RECOVERED: ${monitor.name} after ${incident.duration_seconds}s`)
  }

  res.status(200).json({ ok: true })
})

app.listen(3000)
