Ready alerts and endpoint emails

Get told when a waking endpoint is ready, in the browser, or by email after a slow start (push on your phone once the apps are out), so you never have to watch it start.

On this page

A sleeping endpoint usually wakes in a few minutes, longer when every GPU of its size is busy. You do not have to watch it.

In the browser

When an endpoint is starting, its card offers Notify me when it is ready. Allow notifications once, and the browser tells you when it is ready, even from another tab. The tab title also changes to "Ready".

By email after a slow start

In Billing, under Endpoint emails, tick Email me when an endpoint that took more than 2 minutes to start is ready. You get one email per start, sent to the address you sign in with. Always-on endpoints never send it.

On your phone

The BitsRun apps for iOS and Android are coming soon. Once they are in the app stores, they can push:

  • an endpoint is ready (when you asked from the playground),
  • an endpoint failed to load,
  • your balance is low,
  • always-on stopped because credit ran out.

Each type can be turned off in the app, except security alerts. See Notifications and widgets.

Emails we always send

  • Your BitsRun balance is low: when your balance drops below your alert amount (default $5, change it in Billing; 0 turns it off).
  • Your BitsRun endpoints have stopped: when your balance reaches $0. This one always goes out.

Every email comes from no-reply@bitsrun.com and links straight to the page that fixes the problem.
