Heartbeat URLs
Each heartbeat monitor has a URL like https://hb.pulseboard.techglobellc.com/p/<token>. Call it with curl at the end of your job. Set the expected period and a grace time to absorb slow runs.

Getting started
Create a workspace, add monitors, connect alerts and publish a status page.
Set up in four steps
- 1
Create a workspace
Sign up with your work email. A workspace is usually one company; you can invite teammates from Settings → Members.
- 2
Add your first monitor
Monitors → New monitor. Paste your URL, keep the default 1-minute interval and choose at least three regions.
- 3
Connect an alert channel
Integrations → Slack (or Teams, or Webhook). Authorise the app, pick a channel, then send a test alert.
- 4
Publish a status page
Status pages → New page. Add components, map each to one or more monitors, then add a CNAME record for your domain.
Common questions
Webhook payloads
Outgoing webhooks are JSON POST requests with the monitor, status, region results and incident link. Requests are signed with an HMAC-SHA256 header so you can verify they came from Pulseboard.
Allowing our check IPs
If your service is behind a firewall, allow the check IP ranges listed under Settings → Check locations. The list changes rarely and we email admins 14 days before it does.
API tokens
Create personal or team tokens under Settings → API. Tokens are shown once; store them in your secret manager. The API is rate-limited to 120 requests per minute.
