Slack and Discord Alert Integrations Are Here
Get notified where your team already works. Connect Loggy alerts to Slack and Discord channels for instant visibility into errors, heartbeat failures, and uptime issues.
We’ve all been there. You’re deep in a Slack conversation about the new feature you’re shipping, and somewhere in your inbox, an alert email is sitting unread. By the time you notice it, your users have already started complaining. The disconnect between where alerts land and where your team actually works is a real problem, and we’ve finally solved it.
Starting today, you can connect Loggy directly to your Slack and Discord channels. Every alert - whether it’s an error spike in your logs, a heartbeat that stopped pinging, or an uptime monitor that detected downtime - can now show up right where your team is already paying attention.
Why This Matters
Email alerts are fine for some things, but they have a fundamental problem: nobody’s inbox is a real-time communication channel anymore. We treat email like a to-do list, something to check periodically and batch process. That’s great for newsletters and meeting invites, but it’s terrible for alerts that need immediate attention.
Slack and Discord, on the other hand, are where engineering teams actually live. When something breaks at 2pm on a Tuesday, your team is probably already in a channel talking about something else. An alert that shows up there gets seen immediately, and more importantly, it gets seen by everyone who needs to see it.

How It Works
The setup is intentionally simple. We use webhooks, which means you don’t need to install any apps or grant any special permissions. You just create a webhook URL in Slack or Discord, paste it into Loggy, and you’re done.
For Slack, you’ll create an incoming webhook through your Slack app settings. If you don’t have a Slack app yet, you can create one in about two minutes. Once you have the webhook URL, head to the Alerts page in Loggy, click on Notification Channels, and add your Slack channel.
For Discord, it’s even simpler. Right-click on any channel, go to Edit Channel, then Integrations, and create a webhook. Copy that URL into Loggy, and Discord will start receiving your alerts.
Both integrations support a test button so you can verify everything is working before you rely on it. We’ll send a friendly test message to your channel, and you’ll know immediately if the connection is solid.
What Gets Sent
Every type of alert Loggy can generate will be sent to your connected channels:
Error and Warning Spikes - When your application starts throwing more errors than usual, you’ll see it in your channel with details about which project is affected and how many errors triggered the alert.
Heartbeat Failures - If one of your cron jobs or background processes stops checking in, you’ll get a notification with the heartbeat name and how long it’s been since the last ping.
Uptime Issues - When an uptime monitor detects that your service is down, you’ll get an immediate notification. And when it comes back up, you’ll get a recovery notification too.
Each alert includes a direct link back to Loggy so you can dive into the details without hunting around.
Rich Formatting
We didn’t just dump plain text into your channels. Both Slack and Discord support rich message formatting, and we take full advantage of it. Alerts show up with color-coded severity indicators - red for critical issues, amber for warnings, blue for informational updates. You’ll see structured fields with the key details at a glance, and action buttons that take you straight to the relevant page in Loggy.
The messages are designed to give you just enough context to understand what’s happening without overwhelming you with noise. If you need more details, one click takes you to the full alert in Loggy.
Setting Up Your First Channel
Here’s the quick version:
- Go to Alerts in your Loggy dashboard
- Click the Notification Channels tab
- Click Add Channel
- Choose Slack or Discord
- Give it a name (like “#engineering-alerts”)
- Paste your webhook URL
- Hit Test to make sure it works
- Save and you’re done
From that point on, every alert will be sent to your channel automatically. You can add multiple channels if you want different alerts going to different places - maybe critical errors go to #incidents while heartbeat warnings go to #ops.
Available on Pro and Team Plans
Like our other alerting features, Slack and Discord integrations are available on Pro and Team plans. If you’re on the free tier and want to try them out, you can upgrade anytime from your settings page.
We’re excited to see how teams use this. Alerts are only useful if people actually see them, and now they’ll show up exactly where your team is already looking.
