Planned downtime Auto notifications Status page banner History & transparency

Get started

Create a maintenance window in minutes. Subscribers get notified automatically on your configured channels.

How it works

Plan. Publish. Notify. Done.

Maintenance windows let you communicate planned downtime like a pro, without writing a single “sorry for the inconvenience” email by hand.

Create a maintenance window

Give it a title, message (Markdown supported), choose the status page, and pick start/end time.

Select what’s affected

Tie maintenance to components and monitors so your status page stays accurate and specific.

Notify subscribers automatically

Subscribers get notified via email and your configured channels (Discord, Slack, Telegram or webhooks) when maintenance is scheduled, when it starts, and when it’s completed.

Automatic Notifications

Notify subscribers when maintenance is scheduled, when it starts, and when it completes via email and connected channels. No manual chasing.

Status Page Banner

Show upcoming and active maintenance on the status page so visitors see it before they open a ticket.

Maintenance FAQ

Common questions about maintenance windows

A quick overview of how planned maintenance, notifications and history work in StatusPage.me.

Incidents are unplanned disruptions, while maintenance windows are planned work with a known start and end time. Both appear on your status page, but maintenance is announced in advance so customers know what to expect.

Maintenance notifications go to the same channels you use for incidents: email plus optional Discord, Slack, Telegram and webhook integrations. You decide which channels to enable.

Yes. You can keep certain maintenance windows internal-only or choose which status pages they appear on. This is useful for internal infrastructure work or customer-specific maintenance.

Uptime and SLA metrics are still based on your monitoring checks. Maintenance windows help you clearly communicate planned work and give context to any impact customers might see, but they do not rewrite historical check results.
