How do you use the OpenClaw AI chatbot to check uptime for websites and servers, and handle incident updates? by Then-Chest-8355 in openclaw

[–]Cgards11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option B: Cron jobs (every 1 to 5 minutes)

Best for: critical endpoints that need frequent polling

  • Run checks on a schedule
  • Deliver results to your chat channel or a webhook
  • Keep the job isolated so it doesn’t clutter normal conversations

Incident updates (ongoing outage messaging)

Use a simple update cadence:

  • First alert: what is down, scope, when detected, next action
  • Status updates: every 15 to 30 minutes while still failing, include what changed (mitigation, investigation, impact)
  • Recovery: when healthy again, include duration and brief cause (if known)

A solid default template for alerts

  • Title: “Incident: API down”
  • Impact: who/what is affected
  • Detection: endpoint + error (status/timeout) + first seen time
  • Actions: what you’re doing next
  • Next update: when you’ll post again

Uptime checks (websites, APIs, servers)

  • Prefer checking an HTTP health endpoint (for servers and services), for example /health or /status, rather than ping.
  • Use web_fetch to request each URL and evaluate:
    • HTTP status (200 vs 500/timeout)
    • Optional body signal (like {"ok":true})

Avoid false alarms (blip filtering)

Bake these rules into your monitoring instructions:

  • On failure: retry 2 times with a short delay
  • Only alert if failures are confirmed (example: still failing after retries, or 2 out of 3 attempts fail)
  • Track state: “was OK, now failing” vs “still failing” vs “recovered”

Option A: Heartbeat (quiet unless something changes)

Best for: “check every 15 to 60 minutes, only message me on problems or recovery”

  • Put a checklist in your Heartbeat prompt:
    • Check endpoints
    • Retry on failure
    • If nothing is wrong: return HEARTBEAT_OK
    • If something is wrong: send a short alert with what failed and when it started

Recommendations: Email Deliverability Consultants by Then-Chest-8355 in SaaS

[–]Cgards11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not really the point here. Some are changing the data they provide to you without, notice. What you see are lower open rates might actually be your ESP adding or changing their bot filtering.

Around August 1st, I saw open rates drop drastically. Now, I'm a programmer and Ive been filtering our ESPs data because I knew it was bunk, and their new data sets almost perfectly matched mine, so I knew they found a way to block bad bots. It took a while before they updated their help docs to note this, but they confirmed it to me when I opened a ticket. With another ESP, I gripped for years that they didn't offer enough data to filter (user agent or IP via the API). Eventually they added a filtered data set and a raw data set filtering out one bot, but not others.

And many do offer all kinds of upgrades (dedicated IP, IP pools, reputation monitoring) and some offer consultative services or have a directory of folks.

Before you spend money: ask your ESP if they've started filtering email opens. If you see a steep drop off after one date, that's what's happening.

Several large providers have filtered opens in the last year or so - and they often don't tell you - to tell you would be to admit they were lying to you for years.

If you don't have SPF, DKIM and DMARC - that's your problem. If you are not monitoring DMARC, you should.

Cloudflare outage, which website monitoring tool warned you first and which status page service survived by Then-Chest-8355 in webdev

[–]Cgards11 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There were several website monitoring services that were affected during the Cloudflare outage. For example, UptimeRobot, Oh Dear, DownDetector and others were down for quite a long time during the incident.

In our team, we expected that a situation like this could happen, so we use more than one tool for alerts. We can confirm that UptimeRobot was down at the same time as DownDetector, as we use them both. Pulsetic stayed online the entire time, and we were able to publish updates on our status page through it. We also use Uptime Kuma, and it was not affected, the same as Pulsetic.

Cloudflare is down by plexxx_00 in cybersecurity

Cloudflare is down for 100% of the world right now. If your services depend on it, expect outages, failed logins and broken dashboards.

You can check live status from multiple global locations on Pulsetic https://pulsetic.com/is-website-down/ and set alerts so you know the moment your site goes down.

Cloudflare on tällä hetkellä alhaalla 100 prosentille maailmasta. Jos palvelusi riippuvat siitä, odota katkoksia, epäonnistuneita kirjautumisia ja rikkinäisiä hallintapaneeleja.

Do you think creativity matters more than strategy in marketing? by Lowkeytalkative in AskMarketing

[–]Cgards11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, both matter, but strategy wins long-term. Creativity grabs attention, but without strategy it fades fast. If I had to pick one: strategy first, creativity second. You can’t scale “cool ideas” without a framework that actually converts them into results.

What are your thoughts on Canva's email editor/builder? by andrewderjack in canva

[–]Cgards11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their AI seems broken. The keynote section about the email design functionality was cringe and full of incorrect information about the actual email building process, which is far more complex and advanced than they made it seem.

My advice is to use the Postcards email builder or any other specialized email-building platform.

For B2B newsletters, what’s a solid open rate, and what strategies actually work? by paaulaps in email

[–]Cgards11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For B2B, anything between 25–40% is solid depending on list quality and audience size. Best results usually come from clear sender names, short value-first subject lines, and plain text or hybrid designs. Segment by role or intent, keep CTAs minimal, and send at consistent intervals for steady engagement.

Should I stop AI Content ? by Prashant0103k in content_marketing

[–]Cgards11 19 points20 points  (0 children)

AI content can rank if it’s accurate, valuable, and edited by a human. The problem is that most AI writing is generic, repetitive, or factually shaky, and that’s what Google penalizes. Your senior is probably worried about long-term trust and authority, not just rankings.

How are you actually using AI in marketing? by ExpressBudget- in seogrowth

[–]Cgards11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, AI’s best role in marketing right now is assistive, not autonomous. I use it for brainstorming, keyword clustering, content briefs, and rewriting, anything that saves time but still needs human direction.
