Managing Subscriptions To Statuspage Alerts

Subscribe to receive alerts about upgrades, unplanned outages, or maintenance.

How To Subscribe

To subscribe to Brown’s status alerts visit brownuniversity.statuspage.io/

In the upper-right corner, select the SUBSCRIBE TO UPDATES button.

Enter your email address to receive alerts by email. Or you can select the telephone icon and enter your mobile number to receive alerts by text message. Then select SUBSCRIBE.

Manage Initial Email Subscriptions

Once you enter your email address you will be directed to a page confirming your subscription.

There, you will see a list of services or applications for which you would like to receive notifications. By default, all of the services will be automatically checked. Uncheck the services for which you do not want notifications. Then select, SAVE, at the bottom of the screen.

The notifications will come from Statuspage, an external vendor, from the email address ‘noreply@statuspage.io.’ Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for a confirmation email and add the Statuspage email address to your address book.

Manage Initial SMS (Text Message) Subscriptions

After selecting SUBSCRIBE you will receive a text message verification. The SMS texts will be from various numbers in the (650) area code.

If you opt to receive Brown’s status alerts by SMS, note that you will only receive notifications when an outage is initially posted and when the outage is closed; you will not receive real-time updates.

As with email subscriptions (see above), on the next screen uncheck any services or applications that you do not want to receive alerts on and then select SAVE.

Update Email Subscriptions

Unsubscribe Email
