Short answer

How do I update my uptime alert contacts via chat?

You tell your AI client to add, remove, or list your UptimeRobot alert contacts. It handles the API calls to update your notification targets directly. You get immediate confirmation of who is on call.

Where updates land.

Manage your notification targets.

Your AI acts as the bridge between your chat and your UptimeRobot settings.

AUDIT

View current contacts

The AI pulls your existing contact list so you know exactly who is currently set to receive alerts.

ADD

Register new targets

New email addresses or phone numbers are added to your alert list via a simple text command.

REMOVE

Clear old contacts

The AI removes specific people or devices from your notification list to prevent stale alerts.

MANUAL

Human oversight

You decide when a contact change is necessary, and the AI waits for your command before touching your settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a contact change.

The AI translates your natural language into specific UptimeRobot API actions.

  1. Fetch contact list

    The AI checks your current notification setup to see who is already receiving alerts.

    list_alert_contacts

  2. Add new person

    When you name a new contact, the AI sends that data to UptimeRobot to register them.

    create_alert_contact

  3. Remove contact

    If a team member leaves, the AI finds their entry and deletes it from the alert list.

    delete_alert_contact

  4. Confirm changes

    The AI reports back to you once the contact list has been successfully updated.

    list_alert_contacts

FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my monitor settings?

    No. The AI only manages alert contacts, not the uptime monitors themselves.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete contacts without asking?

    No. The AI only executes deletions when you explicitly tell it to remove a specific contact.

  • 03

    Can I see a list of everyone receiving alerts?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to list all current alert contacts at any time.

  • 04

    Does the AI handle the actual uptime monitoring?

    No. UptimeRobot performs the monitoring; the AI only manages the people being notified.

  • 05

    Can the AI create new monitors?

    No. This specific connection is limited to managing alert contacts.
