Monika Whatsapp Notifier

First thing first, Monika?

Monika is a free and open source command line interface (CLI) tool for synthetic monitoring. It’s like Uptime Robot, Pingdom, or Pingr.io, but it’s

  • FREE 🤑
  • open source 🌎
  • supports many notification channels 💬
  • and is actively being developed 👨🏻‍💻.

Anywhere and Whatever

Unlike the other similar monitoring services, Monika can be installed anywhere you want and can even monitor your internal websites, servers, or services.

Channels, so many channels…

As of this writing, you can be alerted when your server is down or slow via E-mail (SMTP, Mailgun, Sendgrid), Slack, Telegram, WhatApp Business, Microsoft Teams, and any webhooks. And thanks to community’s contribution, Monika can also send alerts to Discord and Facebook Workplace!

But not only that, because today we announce Monika WhatsApp Notifier channel! In a nutshell, you can get alerts from Monika to your WhatsApp number without the need to set up a WhatsApp Business account.

All you have to do is to register your WhatsApp number to Monika WhatsApp Notifier, and get a personalised webhook configuration. Then use the given configuration in Monika. That’s it!

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

UPDATE! Monika is on Product Hunt! Please check it out, vote, and spread the word! 🎉
