UptimeRobot
The official Telegram bot of UptimeRobot, the most widely used free uptime monitor: delivers instant down/up alerts plus SSL and domain-expiry warnings to a chat or group. Setup of monitors still happens on the website; the free plan covers 50 monitors checked every 5 minutes.
Key features
- Instant down/up alerts for websites, ports and servers
- SSL certificate and domain expiry warnings
- Delivers to a personal chat or a shared group
- Backed by UptimeRobot's free 50-monitor, 5-minute-interval plan
What UptimeRobot does
UptimeRobot has been one of the go-to free website monitors for over a decade, and this bot is its official channel for pushing alerts straight into Telegram instead of email. Once a monitor you created on uptimerobot.com goes down, the bot posts the alert to your personal chat or to a group within moments of the check failing, and posts again the moment the site recovers.
Beyond plain up/down checks, UptimeRobot also watches SSL certificate validity and domain expiration dates, so the same bot can warn you before a certificate lapses rather than after visitors start seeing browser warnings. The free tier — 50 monitors polled every 5 minutes — is generous compared to most competitors that check less often or cap the monitor count lower, which is why UptimeRobot remains a common first choice for personal projects and small teams.
The bot itself does no configuration: every monitor, contact and alert rule is managed in the UptimeRobot dashboard, and Telegram is just one of several delivery channels alongside Slack, Discord and email. That split keeps the bot simple and reliable, but it does mean you need a (free) UptimeRobot account before the Telegram alerts mean anything.
How to start
- Create a free account at uptimerobot.com and add a monitor
