Alert channels

How PromptCanary notifies you

Every monitor has at least one alert destination. Alerts fire when a check fails and again when it recovers, so you always know when an incident opens and when it closes.

All plans
Email

Available on every plan. Set one mail destination per monitor. PromptCanary sends a failure notice with the failing assertion and a diff link, plus a recovery notice when the check passes again.

Pro & Team
Slack

Available on Pro and Team plans. Paste an incoming webhook URL into the monitor settings. Alerts post directly to the channel of your choice with the same failure and recovery context.

Team
Webhooks & API

Available on the Team plan. Use outbound webhooks to route alert events to PagerDuty, incident tools, or your own pipeline. The full run result is included in the payload.

CI quality gates

Turn a monitor into a deployment check

PromptCanary runs as a synchronous CI gate using a scoped workspace API key and a monitor id or slug — pass exits cleanly, fail returns a non-zero exit code so the workflow stops before rollout.

Setup checklist

What to confirm before going live

  • The first monitor can be created in under five minutes using a real endpoint and one high-signal assertion.
  • Scheduler cadence, pause or resume controls, and recent cron decisions all look correct from the monitor detail page.
  • Alert delivery outcomes are visible in-product and match the configured notification channels.
  • Billing plan, retention window, and alert destinations match how you plan to use PromptCanary.

Your AI feature is running. Is it still doing its job?

PromptCanary runs scheduled checks, alerts you when something changes, and can act as a CI quality gate before a risky prompt or model change ships. Start free with two monitors, no credit card required.
