Changelog

Improvements to Simrix Monitor, dated from the day they went live. Newest first.

Alerts reach the right inbox, with fewer repeats

  • Alerts for a monitor now go to the notification email set on its site, with the workspace email as the fallback.
  • A monitor that keeps failing sends one alert when the failure is new and at most one reminder per hour, instead of an email on every check.
  • Failed-check details are written in plain English, and screenshots of error pages show the page as a visitor saw it, including 404s.
  • Summaries of failures and changes are generated once and saved with the check, so results open instantly and read the same every time.
  • New documentation at /docs covers setup, workflow and change monitors, results, alerts, billing, your team, and the API. MonitorBot answers from it, and it knows about your sites, monitors, and recent results.

Terms and privacy, billing clarity, and a better fit on phones

  • Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are published at /terms and /privacy.
  • Each plan's monthly check allowance is now enforced. The usage page shows what you have used and where the month is heading.
  • The billing page shows a pending cancellation and the date your plan ends.
  • The app no longer scrolls sideways on phones.
  • MonitorBot formats its answers properly, fits the screen on phones, and the team is notified the moment it opens a support ticket for you.
  • Fixed: checks could fail before the browser opened.

Weekly digest, webhooks, and side-by-side comparisons

  • A weekly digest email summarizes failures and detected changes across your workspace.
  • Webhooks send alerts to your own systems the moment they happen, signed so you can verify every delivery.
  • Change monitors show before and after side by side with a slider, plus a text comparison, and every change monitor has a change history timeline.
  • Snooze alerts on a monitor, duplicate a monitor, and pause, resume, or delete monitors in bulk.
