Webhooks are a simple way to notify an external system when a check goes up or down. healthcheks.io will run a normal HTTP GET call to your specified URL.
You can use the following variables in webhook URLs:
Variable | Will be replaced with… |
---|---|
$CODE |
The UUID code of the check |
$NAME |
Urlencoded name of the check |
$STATUS |
Check's current status ("up" or "down") |
$TAG1, $TAG2, … |
Urlencoded value of the first tag, the second tag, … |
For example, a callback URL using variables might look like so:
http://requestb.in/1hhct291?message=$NAME:$STATUS
After encoding and replacing the variables, healthchecks.io would then call:
http://requestb.in/1hhct291?message=My%20Check:down
