Don’t Wait for a Customer to Tell You – Get Slack Alerts with ClearCron

We’ve all been there — a background job goes down, and you don’t find out until a customer reports missing data.

That’s why we built ClearCron’s Slack integration — so you and your team know exactly what’s happening, when it happens.

What the Slack Integration Does

Once connected, you’ll get:

• Alerts when a job fails
• Confirmations when jobs succeed (optional)
• Summaries of scheduled runs

It’s like having your own automation command center inside your team’s Slack workspace.

How to Set It Up (Takes 2 Minutes)

1. Go to your ClearCron dashboard
2. Select the cron job you want and click “Notifications”
3. Enable Slack notifications and click “Connect Slack”
4. Authorize ClearCron in Slack and choose a channel
5. Select which notifications to receive (failures, successes, summaries)

That’s it—done in two minutes.

Example Use Case: API Monitoring

You’ve set a daily cron to hit your billing API and generate invoices. If it fails, you:

• Miss revenue
• Damage customer trust
• Create a flood of support tickets

With ClearCron and Slack, you’re notified instantly—before anyone else even notices.

Peace of Mind, One Ping at a Time

You built automation to save time. Don’t waste it digging through logs. Let ClearCron alert you when something breaks so you can focus on building.
