Every feature on every plan. No gating, no add-on tiers — just the tools your team needs to stay on top of critical alerts.
Reach your team through multiple channels until someone responds.
iOS Push Notifications
Delivered via APNs with configurable priority. High-priority pages arrive instantly on iPhone.
Android Push Notifications
Delivered via FCM with alarm-channel priority to cut through Doze mode, even on battery-optimized devices.
iOS Critical Alerts
Bypass silent mode and Do Not Disturb on iPhone. Critical pages ring regardless of the ringer switch position.
Email Fallback
Every page is delivered to the recipient's email simultaneously. Includes a signed one-click acknowledge link.
SMS Add-On
Optional SMS delivery per pager for an additional $4/pager/month on the Team plan.
Repeating Alerts
A page repeats its notification every few minutes until the recipient acknowledges it — no silent misses.
Custom Alert Sounds
Different alert tones for urgent vs non-urgent pages, so recipients know the priority before they look.
Delivery Receipts
Every delivery attempt is logged with a timestamp so you know exactly when each channel was tried.
Know who is on-call at any moment, with no spreadsheet required.
Recurring Rotations
Create daily, weekly, or multi-week rotations. PingParrot tracks who is on-call at any given moment.
Multiple Schedules
Run separate schedules for different teams, departments, or services — each with its own rotation.
On-Call Overrides
"Cover Now" and "End Now" let any team member pick up a shift or release it early from the mobile app.
iCal Feed
Subscribe to your on-call schedule in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar via a personal iCal URL.
Schedule Visibility
Every team member can see who is on-call right now and who is next — no ambiguity.
Time Zone Support
Schedules are defined and displayed in your organization's time zone.
Define what happens when no one responds — automatically.
Multi-Step Escalation
Define a chain of recipients. If step 1 doesn't respond, escalate to step 2 after a configurable timeout.
Configurable Delay
Set how long PingParrot waits before escalating — from 1 minute to any duration you need.
Escalation to Groups
Escalate to an entire group so all members are paged simultaneously if one person doesn't respond.
Escalation to On-Call
Escalation steps can target the on-call person, so the policy stays current as the rotation changes.
Repeat Escalation
Configure how many times the escalation chain repeats before the alert is marked as unacknowledged.
Connect any monitoring or observability tool in minutes.
REST API
Send a page with a simple HTTP POST. Include subject, body, and priority. Works from any script or platform.
Outgoing Webhooks
Push page events — created, acknowledged, escalated — to any endpoint: Slack, Teams, custom receivers.
Grafana Alertmanager
Native webhook integration with Grafana alert routing. Route specific alert groups to specific on-call teams.
Prometheus Alertmanager
Compatible with standard alertmanager webhook receiver. Drop in your PingParrot endpoint and it works.
API Keys
Generate named API keys per integration so you can revoke access to a single tool without affecting others.
Webhook Signing
Outgoing webhooks include a signature header so your receiver can verify the request is authentic.
Manage your pagers, groups, and permissions in one place.
Pager Management
Add and remove team members as pagers. Each pager gets the iOS or Android app and can receive pages immediately.
Groups
Create named groups (e.g. "Backend", "Ward 3"). Page a group and all members are notified at once.
Roles
Admin and pager roles. Admins manage the organization; pagers receive and acknowledge pages.
Organization Dashboard
See active pages, recent history, and current on-call assignments at a glance.
Multi-Device Support
A single pager can have the app installed on multiple devices — pages deliver to all of them.
The infrastructure-level features that keep alerting working when it matters.
Full Audit Trail
Every page is logged with full delivery history: channels attempted, timestamps, and who acknowledged.
Maintenance Windows
Schedule suppression windows to silence non-critical alerts during planned downtime.
Page History
Browse and search all past pages with filtering by status, priority, and date range.
Acknowledgement via Email
Recipients can acknowledge directly from the notification email — no app required.
Signed Acknowledge Links
Email acknowledge links are signed and expire, preventing automated prefetch tools from silently clearing pages.
