Setting up your status page
A HeimPulse status page shows your customers the live health of the services you monitor, plus any incidents or maintenance windows you post. Configuring one takes a few minutes in the dashboard. Only an organization owner can change these settings — any member can post incident/maintenance updates once a page exists.
-
1. Add the services you want to show
A status page can only display services you're already monitoring. If you haven't set any up yet, do that first from Services in the dashboard — define the endpoint, check interval, and regions for each one you want your customers to see.
-
2. Open Status Page settings
From your organization's dashboard, go to Status Page in the top navigation. The first time through, you'll see a blank setup form instead of an existing configuration — that's expected.
-
3. Fill in your page's branding
- Title — shown as your page's heading and browser tab title.
- Description — optional, a short line under the title.
-
Slug — the identifier your page will eventually be reachable at. Lowercase letters,
digits, and hyphens only, 3–63 characters, and it can't be a reserved word like
wwworapi.
-
4. Choose which services appear, and in what order
Add each service you want visible and arrange them in the order you want them listed — this is independent of whether a service is currently paused. A paused-but-listed service still shows its last known status rather than disappearing.
-
5. Add a logo (optional)
Your organization's logo is uploaded from Org Settings, not the status page form itself — it's shared between your dashboard and your public page, so there's one place to manage it. PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG, up to 2 MB.
-
6. Remove the HeimPulse watermark (Pro and Business plans)
The "Powered by HeimPulse" footer can be turned off on paid plans. On the Free plan, that toggle is disabled with a link to upgrade — it isn't a soft suggestion, saving the page enforces it either way.
-
7. Preview before you save
The Refresh preview button renders your in-progress changes through the exact same page your visitors will eventually see — not a mockup — so you can check branding, service order, and current status before anything is saved.
-
8. Save
Saving publishes your configuration. From then on, any change to your services' status, a service being paused or resumed, or an incident/maintenance update keeps your page current automatically — no separate "republish" step.
Reporting incidents and scheduled maintenance
Once your status page exists, use Incidents in the dashboard to open an incident or schedule a maintenance window — any member of your organization can do this, not just the owner. Post updates as the situation develops; each one can move the incident through its phases (for example, investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved) and appears on your public page's timeline.
About your public status page URL
Configuring and saving your page today fully prepares its content, but a shareable public URL isn't live yet. On Pro and Business, you can already add and verify a custom domain for your page — routing live traffic through it (default URL or custom domain) is still on its way. Use the live preview in step 7 to see exactly what your page looks like in the meantime.
