Account
Everything that isn't a monitor lives under Account. This page is a map; each section has its own page with the detail.
What's in this section
| Section | Covers |
|---|---|
| Profile & Security | Your name, email, password, timezone, avatar and two-factor authentication |
| Notification Channels | Where your alerts are delivered |
| Uptime Reports | Weekly and monthly summary emails |
| Team & Contacts | Colleagues who can sign in, and contacts who only receive alerts |
| Groups & Tags | Organising your monitors |
| Dashboard | Customising what you see when you sign in |
| API Tokens | Credentials for the API and Claude Code |
| Billing | Subscription, plan changes, invoices and VAT |
| Support | Opening a ticket |
Account vs profile
Two different things that are easy to confuse:
- My Profile is about you — your password, timezone and notification channels. Every person in an account has their own.
- Manage account is about the account — its name and avatar, shared by everyone in it.
If you belong to more than one account, a switcher appears in the interface and each keeps its own monitors, status pages, team and billing.
Billing
Manage your subscription under Account → Billing: subscribe, upgrade or downgrade, update your payment method, view invoices and cancel.
TIP
Subscribing to an annual plan gives you 2 months free.
INFO
If you need to change your billing details (such as company name or VAT ID), please open a support ticket.
Full detail on Billing, and what each plan includes on Plans & Limits.
Profile
Under Account → My Profile you can update:
- Your Email Address — also the address used for signing in
- Your Name
- Your Timezone — by default your account uses GMT/UTC. We recommend updating this for accurate reporting.
- Your Avatar
- Two-factor authentication
- Your notification methods
See Profile & Security.
Supported notification channels
- Email Address — by default, all alert notifications are sent to your account's email address. Toggle "Email Notifications" off to disable this.
- Pushover — enter your Pushover user key to receive push notifications on your phone or desktop. Find your key on your Pushover dashboard.
- Telegram — enter your Telegram ID to receive alerts from our Telegram bot. Talk to IDBot to find your Telegram ID. Sometimes Telegram will not relay any message until you have initiated a chat with our bot, so send any message to Pingniner Bot to prevent any issues.
- Slack — enter your Slack webhook URL here. Click here for more info on how to set up a Slack webhook for your channel.
- Microsoft Teams — enter your Microsoft Teams webhook URL here. Click here for more info on how to set up a webhook connector to your Team's channel.
- Google Chat — enter a Google Chat webhook URL to receive alerts in a Chat space.
- Discord — enter a Discord incoming webhook URL to receive alerts in a Discord channel. Click here for more info on how to set one up.
- Webhook — use this to integrate a custom notification channel. When sending an alert on this channel, our app will make a POST request containing:
POST
{
"message": "Alert message here"
}Setup instructions for each are on Notification Channels.
INFO
SMS is not currently available to configure. Use Pushover or Telegram for alerts on a phone.
Groups
You can use groups so that you can easily find the resources you are interested in.
This feature becomes useful when you have a lot of monitoring resources.
The group can be anything you choose: your clients' names, resource type, etc.
It is not mandatory to attach monitors to groups, but it is recommended. See Groups & Tags.
Support
In this section, you can send us any issue that you may encounter.
If you encounter any issue and could not find the answer in our docs, please open a support ticket and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Users
In this section, you can manage sub-accounts that have access to your account or contacts.
- Sub-accounts (authenticable users) have access to your account and can view, add, or update monitoring resources.
- Contacts cannot log in and can only be used to receive alerts.
- The main account (account owner) cannot be updated from here.
- You can always convert a contact to an authenticable user.
Contacts do not count toward your plan's user limit. See Team & Contacts.
