Notification Preferences
Blimey gives you granular control over when and how you receive alert emails.
Available settings
Notification toggles
- Uptime Notifications — Enable/disable downtime and recovery alerts
- Shopify Status Notifications — Enable/disable platform-wide issue alerts
Recipients
- Admin Email — Toggle to include your Shopify admin email
- Additional Emails — Add comma-separated email addresses for team members or developers
Alert timing
- Alert Cooldown — Minimum time between alert emails (1 min to 1 hour). Prevents notification spam when your store is flapping.
- Downtime Alert Delay — Wait time before sending the first downtime alert (0 to 10 min). Avoids alerts for brief blips that resolve themselves.
Recommended settings for most stores
- Uptime Notifications: Enabled
- Alert Cooldown: 5 minutes
- Downtime Alert Delay: 2 minutes
- Admin Email: Enabled
Tips
- Add your developer's email as an additional recipient so they can investigate issues immediately
- Use a longer alert delay if you experience frequent brief blips that aren't real outages
- Increase cooldown if you're getting too many emails during flapping incidents
