Checkmate Push Notifications

Learn how to use Signalgrid as notification channel in Checkmate
to receive monitoring alerts on your iPhone, Android, and web devices.

Signalgrid is available in Checkmate as a native notification channel.
That means you can connect your Checkmate monitors directly to Signalgrid without building a custom webhook bridge or helper script first.

Once configured, Checkmate can send monitor events straight to your Signalgrid channel so outages, warnings, recoveries, and status changes arrive immediately on your devices.

  Minimum Version Required

Signalgrid was added natively in Checkmate v3.12.0.
