IT & on-call teams
Text alerts for IT & on-call teams
Get server, monitoring, and infrastructure alerts as SMS the moment they fire. EmailToTxt turns the email your tools already send into texts — no PagerDuty pricing, no integration to build.
The problem
Why alerts slip through
Your monitoring stack already knows when something breaks — Zabbix, Grafana, a UPS card, a failing backup. The problem is reach: email gets buried, push apps get silenced, and the carrier email-to-text gateways your scripts used to hit are dead. A 3 a.m. outage that only sent an email is an outage nobody saw until morning.
Full incident platforms solve reach, but they price per-seat and assume you want schedules, escalation trees, and onboarding. For a small team that just needs "text me when prod is down," that’s a lot of cost and setup for one feature.
What you get
EmailToTxt for it & on-call teams
Any tool that emails, texts
Zabbix, Grafana, Nagios, Proxmox, TrueNAS, a UPS card — if it sends email alerts, point them at EmailToTxt and they become SMS. No API keys, no glue code.
Flat pricing, not per-seat
Simple monthly plans with a texts allowance, not per-user incident-platform pricing. Add every on-call phone without watching a seat counter.
Noise controls built in
Per-endpoint hourly limits, monthly caps, and duplicate-alert cooldowns keep a flapping check from turning into a 200-text night.

FAQ
Common questions
- Is this a replacement for PagerDuty or Opsgenie?
- For teams that need full on-call scheduling and escalation, no — those platforms do more. For teams that just need reliable "text the on-call phone when this fires," EmailToTxt delivers that one job at a fraction of the cost and setup.
- Can different alerts go to different people?
- Yes. Create an endpoint per system or severity, each with its own recipient list, and route your tools’ emails accordingly.
