Slack integration & email digest: never miss an alert again

Real-time Slack alerts, daily or weekly email digest, webhooks for your tools — Orilyt monitoring meets you where you already work.

You monitor 10, 20, or 50 WordPress sites with Orilyt. Scores change, issues appear, SSL certificates expire. But to know about it, you have to open the dashboard and check manually. Every day.

This is exactly the kind of task people forget. Not because it's unimportant — but because it's not urgent. Until the day a client reports a problem you should have caught three weeks ago.

Slack and email digest integrations solve this problem. Alerts arrive where you already work — in Slack, in your inbox, or in any tool via webhook. Here's how it works.

Why real-time alerts change everything

Monitoring without notifications is like a fire alarm without a bell. The information exists, but nobody sees it at the right time. In practice, three scenarios keep coming up:

1. The silent score drop — a plugin updates, a page becomes unreachable, TTFB spikes. The score goes from 82 to 61. Without an alert, you only discover it during your next manual check
2. The ignored critical issue — the SSL certificate expires, a security vulnerability is detected, the site gets blacklisted. These events need immediate action, not a monthly report
3. The uninformed team — you saw the alert, but your colleague who manages that client doesn't know. The notification needs to reach the right person, not just the account owner

Notifications transform passive monitoring into active monitoring. Instead of checking, you get notified. The difference? Hours saved in reaction time.

Slack integration: your alerts in #monitoring-orilyt

Slack is the communication tool for most tech teams and web agencies. Rather than adding another tool to check, Orilyt sends alerts directly to a dedicated Slack channel.

1. 2-click setup — connect your Slack workspace from Orilyt settings. Choose the destination channel (#monitoring-orilyt, #clients, or any other channel)
2. Rich messages — each alert is a formatted Slack message with the site name, current score, score delta, and a direct link to the full report
3. Configurable events — choose what triggers a notification: score drop (customizable threshold), new critical issue, audit completed, scheduled report sent
4. Team mentions — tag @channel for critical alerts, or assign specific sites to team members for targeted mentions

The Slack integration doesn't just send text. The message includes a visual score preview, color coding (green/orange/red), and action buttons to open the report or launch a new audit.

Email digest: your site summary, every morning

Not everyone uses Slack. And even those who do appreciate a structured recap. The email digest condenses the status of all your monitored sites into a single email, sent automatically.

1. Choose your frequency — daily digest (sent at 8 AM) or weekly (sent Monday morning). Pick the rhythm that fits your site volume
2. Summary table — each site is listed with its current score, change since last digest (up/down arrow), and a status indicator (OK, warning, critical)
3. Alerts section — important events since the last digest are highlighted: score drops, new critical issues, certificates expiring soon
4. Direct links — each site in the digest is clickable and leads directly to the full report in Orilyt. One click to investigate a problem

The digest is designed to be read in 30 seconds. If all your sites are stable, you see it at a glance. If a site has a problem, it stands out immediately thanks to color coding.

Webhooks: for custom integrations

Slack and email don't cover every case. Advanced agencies use Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat), or custom scripts to automate their workflows. Orilyt webhooks integrate natively into these systems.

1. Configurable webhook URL — add a destination URL in Orilyt settings. Each event triggers a JSON POST to that URL
2. Structured payload — the JSON includes site ID, URL, before/after score, event type, list of failed tests, and a link to the report
3. Zapier/Make use cases — create a Trello card when a site drops below 60/100, send an SMS alert, update a client tracking Google Sheet, trigger a verification audit

The webhook turns Orilyt into a data source for your tool ecosystem. Every monitoring event can trigger any automated action.

Thresholds and filters: only get what matters

Nobody wants to be flooded with notifications. The system's strength lies in its configurability. You define exactly what deserves an alert:

1. Score threshold — alert only if the score drops by more than 10 points, or falls below an absolute threshold (e.g. 60/100). No noise for minor variations
2. Test filter — get an alert only when a specific test fails: expired SSL, security vulnerability detected, missing sitemap. Ignore tests that don't concern you
3. Site filter — enable notifications site by site. Critical sites (client production) get all alerts; secondary sites only trigger major alerts

Proper threshold tuning is the difference between a useful tool and one you end up ignoring. Less noise, more signal.

Team notifications: everyone in the loop

In an agency, monitoring isn't one person's job. Multiple team members manage different clients, and each needs to receive relevant alerts:

1. Shared Slack channel — all team members can join the #monitoring-orilyt channel. Alerts are visible to everyone, preventing information silos
2. Individual digest — each member can configure their own email digest, filtered to the sites they manage. The project manager sees everything; the developer sees only their sites
3. Site assignment — in team plans, each site can be assigned to a specific member. Slack mentions and digests respect this assignment

The result: each team member receives exactly the alerts they need, in the channel they prefer. No overload, no blind spots.

Comparison: with and without notifications

To measure the impact, let's compare two scenarios — the same agency, the same 30 sites, with and without alerts configured:

1. Without alerts — you open the dashboard once a week, scan scores, identify issues. Time: 30 minutes. Detection delay: up to 7 days. Risk: a critical issue goes unnoticed for a week
2. With Slack alerts — the issue is flagged in real time in your channel. Detection time: immediate. Reaction time: minutes. The client never discovers the problem before you do
3. With email digest — every morning, you know in 30 seconds if everything is fine. Non-critical issues are identified daily without effort. The digest replaces your manual dashboard check

Notifications don't replace the dashboard — they complement it. The dashboard remains the deep analysis tool. Notifications are the safety net ensuring nothing slips through.

Availability: Q3 2026

Slack integrations, email digest, and webhooks are part of the Q3 2026 roadmap. It's the missing piece between monitoring and action: monitoring detects problems, notifications alert you, and you intervene before the client notices.

Native Slack integration, daily/weekly email digest, webhooks for Zapier/Make/scripts, configurable thresholds per site, and team notifications with assignment. All natively integrated into the Orilyt dashboard.

Sign up now to be notified at launch. In the meantime, enable monitoring on your sites — alerts will complement the system automatically.
