UptimeRobot monitors your websites, APIs, and ports from 50+ global probe locations, alerting you the instant a service becomes unavailable. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can read live uptime data, create monitors for new services the moment they launch, schedule maintenance windows around deploys, and route downtime alerts to exactly the right person — all without logging in to the dashboard. Over 1.6 million companies rely on UptimeRobot to catch outages first; your agent just makes sure the response is already in motion when the alert lands.

Outage to resolution in under 5 minutes

The moment UptimeRobot detects a customer-facing service is down, your agent reads the monitor's current status and all active alert contacts, fires a pre-written incident notification to the on-call Slack channel, and blocks a 30-minute recovery call on the lead engineer's calendar — all before most customers finish refreshing the page. Mean time to acknowledge drops to under 90 seconds, and every step is timestamped for the post-mortem.

How to plug UptimeRobot into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path to full UptimeRobot control. Install the MCP server once and the agent can create monitors, manage alert contacts, and read uptime data through a permissioned connection — no tokens to rotate, no scopes to memorise.

Open the Apps tab

Find UptimeRobot in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

Authorise in UptimeRobot

You'll be redirected to UptimeRobot to confirm the connection. Approve the requested read and write permissions for monitors, alert contacts, maintenance windows, and status pages.

Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

FAQs

Questions about UptimeRobot + Actionist

How do I connect UptimeRobot to Actionist?

Go to the Apps tab, find UptimeRobot, and click Connect. The MCP path is the default and recommended option — it completes an authorisation handshake with UptimeRobot in about 30 seconds. If your security policy requires explicit token control, switch to the API Key method: generate a Main API Key from UptimeRobot's My Settings → API Settings page, paste it into Actionist, and click Test Connection. The agent gains access to all four resource types — monitors, alert contacts, maintenance windows, and status pages — immediately.

Which UptimeRobot API key type should I use?

Use the Main API Key for full access across all monitors, alert contacts, and maintenance windows. Monitor-specific API keys are read-only and scoped to a single monitor — suitable only if you want the agent to read one service's status but nothing else. For most automation use cases (provisioning, bulk updates, incident response), the Main API Key is the right choice. Store it as an Actionist secret, never in plain text or a version-controlled file.

Can the agent create and delete monitors without a human approving each one?

Yes. Once connected, the agent can create, update, reset, or delete monitors autonomously — no per-action approval step is built into the UptimeRobot API. If you want a human gate, add an Actionist approval node to your workflow before the write step. For unattended provisioning pipelines (e.g. auto-monitoring every new service in a spreadsheet), the agent handles the full cycle without interruption.

What happens if the agent creates a monitor but the account has no available slots?

The agent will receive a 400-level error from UptimeRobot indicating the account limit is reached. The safest pattern is to call Get account details at the start of any provisioning workflow to read the current monitor count against the plan limit. If the count is at capacity, the agent can post a Slack alert or create a task before attempting the create call, preventing a silent failure mid-workflow.

How do I avoid duplicate alert contacts after repeated onboarding runs?

Before creating an alert contact, call Get all alert contacts and search for an existing entry with the same email or phone number. If one is found, call Update an alert contact instead of creating a new one. This idempotency check prevents duplicate pages to the same person during incidents — a common problem when onboarding workflows run more than once for the same employee.

Can the agent manage scheduled maintenance windows for recurring deploys?

Yes. Call Create a maintenance window with a weekly recurrence schedule and Actionist will ensure UptimeRobot suppresses false-positive alerts during every deployment slot without any manual setup each time. If a deploy is cancelled, the agent can call Delete a maintenance window to restore alert coverage immediately rather than waiting for the window to expire. For one-off deploys, Get a maintenance window lets the agent verify the window is active before the deployment script starts.

What objects does Actionist's UptimeRobot integration cover?

The integration covers all five UptimeRobot resource types: Account (read plan details), Monitors (create, read, update, delete, reset), Alert Contacts (create, read, update, delete), Maintenance Windows (create, read, update, delete), and Public Status Pages (create, read, delete). Keyword monitors, port monitors, and HTTPS monitors are all created via the same Create a monitor action — the monitor type is set in the parameters passed to the call.

How do I make sure alert contacts are current when the on-call rotation changes?

Build an Actionist workflow triggered by your HR or schedule system that runs at each rotation handover. The workflow calls Get all alert contacts, matches them against the outgoing and incoming engineers, then calls Update an alert contact to swap the phone number and email on the relevant entries. Avoid deleting and recreating contacts on every rotation — existing monitors reference contact IDs, and a delete-recreate cycle breaks those references until the monitors are manually re-linked.
