Turn Upptime Alerts into Instant Calls with Echobell

Route Upptime outages to Echobell’s time-sensitive push or phone-call alerts with one custom webhook—fast to set up, reliable when it matters.

Turn Upptime Alerts into Instant Calls with Echobell

Upptime already monitors your sites from GitHub Actions, but the moment something breaks you still need a signal that cuts through. Echobell turns those checks into time-sensitive pushes or even phone calls—no extra servers, just a single webhook URL per channel.

Why this pairing works

  • Real escalation: flip a channel to call notifications for the endpoints that cannot wait.
  • Structured context: include site name, status, response code, and the GitHub issue link in every alert.
  • Low-effort setup: add two secrets in your Upptime repo and keep the rest of your config unchanged.

Enable it in minutes

  1. In Echobell, copy a channel webhook: https://hook.echobell.one/t/<channel-token> (choose standard, time-sensitive, or call).
  2. In your Upptime repo, add GitHub Actions secrets:
NOTIFICATION_CUSTOM_WEBHOOK=true
NOTIFICATION_CUSTOM_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hook.echobell.one/t/<channel-token>?site=$SITE_NAME&status=$STATUS&url=$SITE_URL&issue=$ISSUE_URL&code=$RESPONSE_CODE&emoji=$EMOJI
NOTIFICATIONS_DOWN_MESSAGE=$EMOJI $SITE_NAME is $STATUS ($RESPONSE_CODE) – $ISSUE_URL
NOTIFICATIONS_UP_MESSAGE=$EMOJI $SITE_NAME is back up – $SITE_URL
  1. In Echobell, set a simple template ({{site}}, {{status}}, {{code}}, {{url}}, {{issue}}) and choose whether the channel should ring your phone or stay as a push.

That’s it—Upptime delivers the data, and Echobell handles the notification style. If you need the full breakdown, the configuration guide walks through every detail, while Upptime’s own knobs stay in the official docs.

What you get

  • Faster awareness when an endpoint degrades or goes down
  • Clear links back to the affected site and the GitHub issue thread
  • A reliable escalation path without touching the rest of your Upptime setup

Try it on one monitored URL, trigger a test outage, and you’ll hear (or see) the alert instantly.
