PingParrot sends push notifications to your on-call team and keeps repeating until the page is acknowledged — because critical alerts can't wait.

Three steps from alert to acknowledgement.
Step 01
Trigger an alert from the web app, mobile app, or via our REST API from any monitoring tool.
Step 02
Recipients get a push notification instantly, an email with the page details, and an SMS if enabled. Push keeps repeating until someone responds.
Step 03
A team member acknowledges from the mobile app or directly via the link in the email — the page stops repeating immediately. Full audit trail recorded.
Most tools send one notification and hope for the best. PingParrot stacks three delivery channels and keeps repeating until someone confirms they're on it.
Fires instantly and repeats on your interval — every 30 seconds by default — until someone taps Acknowledge. On iOS, critical and high priority pages carry Apple Critical Alerts Entitlement — they play at full volume through silent mode and Do Not Disturb.
Every page sends an email with a PAGE: [Priority] subject so it cuts through inbox noise. Sent once — never repeated — so your inbox doesn't flood. Can be disabled per pager in their profile.
For responders who can't always be staring at their phone, SMS ensures the page lands as a text. Works independently of app push — carrier signal alone is enough. Available on the Team plan for +CA$4/pager/month on top of the standard rate.

Locked, silenced, Do Not Disturb on — a critical page still breaks through.
Pages repeat at your configured interval — every 30 seconds, every minute — until acknowledged.
Multi-step chains fire automatically when a page goes unacknowledged: the engineer, then their backup, then the team.
Rotations on any interval, synced live to Google and Apple Calendar. Cover a shift on the fly, no admin required.
Deliver pages instantly, even backgrounded or killed. Acknowledge directly from the notification.
Trigger pages from Grafana, Prometheus, or any monitoring tool with API key auth. No SDK required.
Falls back to email automatically when push isn't available — acknowledge directly from the email.
Every page, delivery attempt, and acknowledgement logged with timestamps.
Fire on page events — sent, acknowledged, escalated — into Slack, Teams, or any HTTP endpoint.
Suppress alerts during planned downtime, org-wide or per group. Logged, not lost.

Your Grafana alert fires at 2 am — PingParrot pages the on-call engineer via push and email instantly, then keeps repeating every 30 seconds until they acknowledge. No more silent incidents.
A security alert or hardware failure hits your monitoring tool — a single API call pages the right tech, with push, email, and an escalation chain that automatically loops in the next person if they don't respond.
Technicians aren't always staring at their phones. SMS delivery ensures an equipment alarm or building issue reaches them as a text — no app required, no alert missed because push didn't fire.
Run a separate on-call rotation and escalation policy per client, all from one account. When a client's monitoring tool fires, PingParrot pages exactly the right technician — never mixed up between accounts.
The same alerts that wake up an on-call engineer at 2am can reach a kid whose phone is on silent, or confirm your mom took her medication — repeating and escalating to another family member until someone actually responds.
