Set Up Slack Alerts for Cron Job Failures
Alert IntegrationsThe Problem
When a cron job fails at 3 AM, an email alert might be missed. Your team needs real-time notifications in the channel they're already watching.
The Solution
Connect CronRabbit to Slack via incoming webhooks. Rich Block Kit messages include the monitor name, status, workspace, and timestamp.
Setup Steps
1. Create an Incoming Webhook in your Slack workspace. 2. In CronRabbit, go to Workspace Settings → Integrations → Add Slack. 3. Paste the webhook URL. 4. Enable Slack alerts on your monitors.
Alert Format
CronRabbit sends formatted Slack messages with the monitor name, failure type (missed, failed, late), workspace name, and timestamp. You get separate alerts for 'down' and 'recovered' events.
