I'm scratching an itch. I'm a huge fan of system monitoring and alerting when they go down. It allows the engineers in charge of the production systems to sleep well knowing that things are working.
There's a gap for email monitoring. How many times did you have to awkwardly explain why the notification emails in your app stopped sending a month ago? Or that time when the weekly summary report did no go out on Friday, and on Monday you were chewed out by the boss? Or when Jerry went on vacation and neglected to send the weekly marketing campaign email.With
[I'm building https://wasitsent.com - you get an alert when your emails *stop* sending. It's like an uptime monitor for email sending. If something breaks your email sending process, we'll let you know.
If you would like to see such a service, or have feedback (positive AND negative) about it, please let me know. If you heard of other companies offering something like this, I'd love to know as well.
A long time ago I built a Nagios script for verifying email end to end. It would trigger a test email to be sent from the app to a known mailbox and measure the time to receipt in that mailbox. Simple but extremely effective, and several times it caught a failing in the mail stack somewhere.
It also got used to validate enquires@/hello@/contact forms were delivering, especially to set small business owners minds at rest.
We use a similar email monitoring tool from https://ert.digitconsulting.net/ It integrates with our RMM. So there is definitely a demand for a service like this. But I would expect that paying customers will want it to integrate with a monitoring platform, more than just a message on slack/teams
