Quick start

This walks you from zero to a live status page.

1. Create your organization

Go to /sign-up, enter your name, email and password, then pick an organization name and address (slug). The address must be 2–40 lowercase letters, numbers or hyphens and can't be a reserved name. After sign-up you land in your console at /<your-slug>/manage.

2. Add your first monitor

In the console, open Monitors → New and choose a type. The simplest is HTTP / API:

1. Enter the URL to check, e.g. https://example.com/health.
2. (Optional) Set a success condition such as statusCode == 200.
3. Pick a check interval and region.
4. Save.

Pulse runs the first check immediately, so you'll see a status within seconds. See HTTP / API monitors for all options.

3. Organize and publish

• Group monitors into a product so they appear under a labelled section.
• Open Pages to review your public status page. It lives at /<slug>/<workspace>/<page> — for example /acme/production/home.

4. Tell people about it

• Add a status badge or embed to your app or website — see Badges & embeds.
• Invite teammates from Settings → Team.
• Let users subscribe for updates.

5. When something breaks

Open Incidents → New, describe the impact and post updates as you investigate and recover. Pulse can also draft incidents with AI and accept external alerts from your monitoring tools.
