Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to use this service?

This service is mainly for mission critical scripts which need to be investigated immediately. E.g. if your overnight batch is failing, you can use InstantAlerts.com to notify you ASAP.

How can I use this service?

Easy, send an email to the unique email address we provide when you create an alert. Add contacts or groups to the alert and we will notify via sms or phone call. If you need help on how to send an email in the programming language of your choice, see how to send an email.

You must modify your script to send an email (to the address provided) when an error occurs or you can edit your cron without modifying any scripts.

How can I get cheaper rates?

You can subscribe to the monthly Go Pro plan from your account settings. You can see the pricing information here.

I'm not sure I understand what this is all about.

That’s OK, this service is only useful if you’re a programmer or working in an IT company as a Solutions Architect. The majority of the population couldn’t care less of what we do so this service is a very particular niche case.
