Can I send alerts to multiple email addresses?

Yes. Create a separate email integration for each address. You can also use a distribution list or team alias as the recipient to reach multiple people with a single integration.

Will I get an email when the monitor recovers?

Yes. Nodown sends a recovery email when the monitor returns to healthy status, including the total downtime duration. Recovery emails can be configured to go to a different address from incident alerts.

Can I use email alerts to create tickets in Jira or Zendesk?

Yes. Most ticketing systems support email-to-ticket creation. Enter the system's inbound email address as the Nodown email integration recipient, and incidents automatically create tickets in your workflow.

Why teams use Nodown with Email

Nodown sends formatted HTML email alerts when a monitor goes down or recovers. Use email for incident paper trails, summary notifications, or routing alerts to stakeholders who are not in Slack or Discord.

Works everywhere

Email integrates with any inbox — personal addresses, team aliases, PagerDuty email integration endpoints, Jira Service Management inboxes, or ticketing systems.

Paper trail by default

Every incident and recovery generates an email. Use your inbox search or filters to reconstruct incident history without querying a database.

Multiple recipients

Create separate email integrations for different recipients — engineering team, CTO, customer success — and assign them to monitors based on who needs to be informed.

Included on all plans

Email alerts are available on all Nodown plans including the free Starter. No additional configuration beyond entering an address.
