Subscribing and Managing Updates

Subscribing turns StatiBeat from a page you check manually into a system that notifies you when something important changes.

Subscribers in the live demo

What subscribers can do​

Depending on how the page is configured, you may be able to:

  • subscribe by email and other enabled channels
  • scope notifications to specific components or service areas
  • choose which events matter to you
  • manage your preferences later through a one-time access link

Typical subscription flow​

The public subscription journey usually looks like this:

  1. Open the subscribe flow from the public page.
  2. Enter your email address or other supported destination.
  3. Choose the services, components, or views you care about.
  4. Save your preferences.
  5. Use the management link later if you want to update or remove those preferences.

What you can subscribe to​

Common subscription targets include:

  • the full public status page
  • one or more selected components
  • incidents
  • maintenance events
  • custom views when your audience only needs a scoped subset of the service

The exact options vary by workspace configuration, but the goal is the same: only receive updates that matter to you.

Managing an existing subscription​

StatiBeat includes a self-service management flow so you do not have to ask an admin every time your preferences change.

That management workspace can be used to:

  • change the components you follow
  • adjust channel preferences
  • stop receiving certain event types
  • manage custom views or RSS feeds you own or control

When to subscribe to the full page vs a scoped view​

Subscribe to the full page when:

  • your team depends on most of the platform
  • you want the broadest possible visibility
  • central operations or leadership need the whole service picture

Subscribe to a scoped view when:

  • you only care about one product area or service slice
  • your team would be distracted by unrelated incidents
  • a customer-specific or business-unit-specific view exists

Practical advice​

  • Subscribe before the next incident, not during it.
  • Review your notification scope when your team or ownership changes.
  • Prefer scoped subscriptions when the full page is too noisy for your role.
  • Keep your management link accessible so you can update preferences without delay.
