Step 1 — Account Setup

Create Your Workspace

Register using your corporate email to enable SSO and team collaboration from day one.

Verify Email Address

Check your inbox for the confirmation link from auth@statuspulse.io. Click it within 24 hours to activate your account and unlock dashboard access.

Name Your Workspace

Assign a clear identifier like Acme-Prod-Cluster or SaaS-Platform-EU. This workspace groups all monitors, alerts, and team members under a single billing scope.

Generate API Key

Navigate to Settings > Integration Keys and create your primary token. Store it in your vault; it authenticates webhook payloads and CLI commands.

Step 2 — First Monitor

Add Your Primary Endpoint

Configure your first HTTP check to track availability, response codes, and latency.

Endpoint Configuration

Go to Monitors > New Check and enter your production URL (e.g., https://api.yourdomain.com/v1/health). Set the check interval to 60s and enable TLS certificate tracking.

Global Probe Network

StatusPulse automatically routes requests through 12 regional nodes including Ashburn, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Sydney. This eliminates single-region false positives.

Response Validation

Define success criteria: expect HTTP 200, a JSON body containing "status":"ok", and a response time under 800ms. Save the configuration to begin live polling.

Step 3 — Alert Configuration

Configure Email Notifications

Ensure your engineering team gets instant alerts when downtime occurs.

Channel Setup

Open Alerts > Channels > Add Email and input your on-call distribution list (e.g., ops-team@yourdomain.com). Verify the channel with the confirmation token sent to your inbox.

Threshold Rules

Set the trigger threshold to 1 consecutive failure for critical endpoints. Enable auto-recovery notifications so your team knows exactly when service is restored.

Quiet Hours & Testing

Configure quiet hours between 02:00–06:00 UTC to prevent overnight paging fatigue. Run a dry test using the Send Test Alert button to validate routing and formatting.
