What's new in PulsAPI
New features, improvements, and fixes. We ship fast and keep you informed.
Alert Rules, Escalation & Quieter Incidents
Define when and how you get notified, step up urgency over time, and pause alerts during planned maintenance — with history and stats to review what fired.
- Alert rules engine: thresholds, status transitions, consecutive failures, downtime budget, SLA breach, incident, and recovery conditions
- Escalation policies with ordered steps, delays, and repeat options so the right channel gets pinged if something stays broken
- Maintenance windows to suppress alert noise while vendors publish planned work
- Alert event history plus daily statistics for a clear picture of what triggered and when
- Flap detection to dampen alerts when status flickers
- Broader status page coverage and fetchers (e.g. Firebase, Hetzner, Webex) alongside ongoing crawler reliability work
Blog & Content Hub
We launched the PulsAPI blog — engineering insights, status monitoring best practices, and product deep-dives.
- New /blog section with articles on cloud reliability and operational intelligence
- Dedicated changelog page (you're looking at it)
- Redesigned professional footer with all navigation links
- Consistent marketing header across all public pages
Team Collaboration
Invite team members, assign roles, and collaborate on shared dashboards.
- Team invitations via email with tokenized join links
- Role-based access: Owner, Admin, and Member permissions
- Shared dashboard groups visible to all team members
- Up to 5 team members on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise
Custom Dashboard Groups
Organize your monitored services into logical groups — by project, team, or infrastructure layer.
- Create unlimited custom dashboard groups on Pro plans
- Drag-and-drop service ordering within groups
- Group-level status aggregation (worst-status-wins)
- Quick-switch between groups via the dashboard sidebar
Smart Alert Routing
Route incidents to the right people, on the right channel, at the right severity level.
- Slack integration: receive alerts in any channel via incoming webhooks
- Discord integration: webhook-based notifications with rich embeds
- Per-service, per-severity routing rules (e.g., AWS critical → Slack #infra, Stripe degraded → email)
- Alert deduplication to prevent notification storms during cascading incidents
SLA Metrics & Performance Tracking
Hard numbers to hold vendors accountable — 90-day uptime, MTTR, and incident frequency.
- 90-day rolling uptime percentage for every monitored service
- Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) calculations per provider
- Incident count and severity breakdown over time
- Performance dashboard with day-by-day uptime timeline
- Exportable SLA reports for vendor reviews
Reliability Improvements
Bug fixes and stability improvements to the crawler and notification pipeline.
- Fixed crawler not updating status on transient network failures
- Resolved email notification delays during high-incident periods
- Improved service icon resolution for 40+ providers
- Fixed pagination edge case in the service directory
