New Monitor Event on Pulsetic

Description:Emit new event when a monitor event occurs.

Version:0.0.1

Pulsetic Overview#

Pulsetic API lets you monitor your websites and servers, sending notifications when downtime occurs or performance issues arise. With Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create powerful, automated workflows that respond to Pulsetic events in real-time. For instance, you can automate incident management by connecting Pulsetic to ticketing systems, trigger alerts in communication channels, or log performance data for analysis. Pipedream's zero-management data stores also allow you to keep track of incident history without needing a separate database.
