Your first hour with Tidepost
01
Add a check
Start with the address customers open most, usually the login or the start page of your app.
02
Name components
Use the words your customers use. Nobody searches a status page for a server name.
03
Write a test incident
Post a private test update to see how it looks on the page and in email.
04
Go live
Connect your domain, then link the status page from your app and your support pages.
