Email alerts for consensus-confirmed outages
Email is on Free so you can get paged without wiring chat first. Messages go out after regions agree. Multi-region consensus is the filter in front of every channel.
On Free from day one
No chat admin required to start. Add Slack later if you want; email works at signup.
Useful in escalation
Many small teams use email as a later escalation step when chat was muted.
Context in the body
Monitor, timing, and links back to the incident — not a one-line “down” with no next step.
Still consensus-gated
Email sends when regions agree, so the inbox is less likely to fill with single-probe noise.
