Feature Ideas

Overview We would like to enhance WP Insta's uptime monitoring capabilities by adding Slack integration and/or API access to website status information. Primary Requirement: Slack Integration Implement a native Slack integration that sends automatic notifications whenever a monitored website changes status (goes down or comes back online). Use Case If I am monitoring 8–10 websites, I want to have a centralized view of their status and receive real-time alerts in a dedicated Slack channel whenever an issue occurs. Desired Functionality Users should be able to: Connect WP Insta to Slack using a webhook URL or Slack app integration. Select the Slack channel where notifications will be sent. Enable or disable notifications on a per-site basis. Receive alerts when a website goes down. Receive alerts when a website is restored and becomes available again. View which websites are currently being monitored. Example Slack Notifications Website Down 🚨 Website Down Alert Website: example.com Status: Down Time: 2026-06-03 10:35 UTC Error: Timeout / HTTP 500 / DNS Resolution Failure Website Restored ✅ Website Restored Website: example.com Status: Online Time: 2026-06-03 10:42 UTC Alternative Requirement: Public API Access If a direct Slack integration is not feasible, we would like an API that exposes uptime monitoring data and website status information. API Requirements The API should allow users to: Retrieve the status of all monitored websites. Retrieve the status of a specific website. Access metrics such as: Current status (Up/Down) Last check timestamp Response time Last incident timestamp Error details (if applicable) This would allow users to build custom integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, monitoring dashboards, or other third-party systems. Example API Response { "sites": [ { "url": "https://example.com", "status": "up", "last_check": "2026-06-03T10:35:00Z", "response_time_ms": 230, "last_incident": null }, { "url": "https://example2.com", "status": "down", "last_check": "2026-06-03T10:35:00Z", "error": "Timeout", "last_incident": "2026-06-03T10:30:00Z" } ] } Expected Outcome Provide users with a centralized and scalable way to monitor multiple websites, receive real-time alerts through Slack, and/or access uptime data programmatically through an API for custom integrations and reporting.

Allow users to connect their plugin & theme license for 1-click activation on sites they are creating on InstaWP or migrating to a hosting provider.

We are working on a new version of WaaS portal which will allow end-users to manage their websites, view a list of websites they have purchased, buy more etc.

Exporting static .zip for sites hosted on InstaWP.

It would be great if the website owner could disable all installed plugins. If any unexpected errors occur, this setting will assist users in recovering the website.

Simple brochure sites are primarily static, and don't need dynamic functions. Most of them require only a contact form, which can be taken care of by a third-party service. For these types of sites, an option to completely lock both the database and the file system would minimize maintenance and prevent security issues altogether, bringing complete peace of mind for clients and developers. Rocket.net implemented this feature recently, and it works well.

Allow the selection of the datacentre location for staging sites created from within the WordPress plugin to speed up staging creation.

At the moment, the first admin user account seems to be used for Magic login after for staging sites. There should ideally be a dropdown to select which admin user account is to be used.

Anyone with eyeballs

At present the template selection page isn't white labelled but is being considered. You can integrate the page using an iFrame. One thing I would be grateful for consideration is the following: Using the root domain for WaaS means that subdomains are no longer accessible by the client. As the nameservers are under the control of InstaWP via AWS would it be possible to add a custom subdomain like 'my.example.com' or 'clients.example.com' using the WaaS domain for the template selection page?

When you create a staging site from a live site, it is not possible to push the changes in files and/or database back to the live site (unless you use 2 way sync, which works on "content" level). We will create a functionality which will help push files and/or db (similar to WP Migrate) from and to staging sites live sites.

Export sites to Google Drive for safe keeping.

We will auto create a quick staging site of your main website, perform core, themes and plugin updates and compare the two sites. If everything is ok, we will update the live site for you.

Ability to set a standard/global WordPress admin email address for WordPress installs I have a specific dev email address for staging/maintenance/website development. InstaWP uses the email address linked to my InstaWP account as the standard WP admin email address which is not preferred. Ability to change the WordPress admin email address Now we aren't able to receive the conformation email when changing the WP admin email address (a workaround is using a plugin but it would be nice if we can change the WP admins email without adding plugins).
