StatusCake
The Telegram delivery bot for StatusCake, a UK uptime and performance monitor with an official Telegram integration: alerts land in chat the moment a StatusCake test fails or recovers. Monitors are still created on statuscake.com; the free plan covers a handful of tests.
Key features
- Delivers StatusCake test failure and recovery alerts to Telegram
- Works alongside StatusCake's email, Slack and webhook channels
- Backed by StatusCake's uptime and page-speed monitoring platform
StatusCake
StatusCake is an established uptime and page-speed monitoring service, and its knowledge base documents an official Telegram integration that routes alerts through this bot. Once you add a Telegram contact group in the StatusCake dashboard and attach it to a test, any failure or recovery for that test is pushed to the linked chat within moments, alongside a webhook-style summary of what happened.
The integration sits next to StatusCake's other contact channels — email, Slack, PagerDuty and plain webhooks — so teams that already standardised on StatusCake for HTTP, TCP or DNS checks can add Telegram as one more place alerts land without changing how tests themselves are configured. StatusCake's free tier supports a modest number of tests at a slower check interval, with faster checks and more tests reserved for paid plans.
As with most monitoring-vendor bots, all the actual configuration — creating tests, defining thresholds, building contact groups — happens on the website; the bot itself is a one-way delivery channel and does not accept commands to manage monitoring from inside Telegram.
