Instatus + Memtro

What is down on our status page right now?

Instatus connects Memtro to your status pages and uptime monitors. It reads each page's overall status, incidents with their updates and responders, components and their status, scheduled maintenance, notices, and monitors with their availability over a period. When asked and granted, it can open, update, resolve, acknowledge or delete incidents, schedule or cancel maintenance, change components, post notices, manage subscribers and pause or mute a monitor. Instatus can also tell Memtro when an incident, maintenance or component changes, and a job can start on it. You add the Memtro address to the status page's webhook subscription yourself.

In Memtro

What you can do with Instatus in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Instatus tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Status pages with their overall status and public address.
  2. 02Incidents with every update, the components affected, and who was paged and has acknowledged, as team member ids.
  3. 03Components, scheduled maintenance, notices, and uptime monitors with availability, downtime and response time over a period.
  4. 04When asked and granted, opens, updates, resolves or deletes incidents and schedules or updates maintenance. These show on the public page, and subscribers are emailed or texted when notify is on.
  5. 05When asked and granted, changes or adds components, posts or deletes notices, adds or removes subscribers, pauses, mutes or resumes monitors, and acknowledges incidents as the key's user.
  6. 06With events on, an incident opened or updated, a maintenance scheduled, or a component changing status in Instatus can start a job.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Instatus. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Open an incident on a status page
  2. 02Rename an incident or change its components
  3. 03Post an incident update, including resolving it
  4. 04Acknowledge an incident as the key's user
  5. 05Delete an incident
  6. 06Schedule a maintenance
  7. 07Post a maintenance update
  8. 08Delete a maintenance
  9. 09Change a component's status, name or description
  10. 10Add a component to a status page
  11. 11Post a notice on a status page
  12. 12Delete a notice
  13. 13Subscribe an email address to a status page
  14. 14Remove a subscriber from a status page
  15. 15Pause, mute or resume a monitor

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Instatus, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Instatus's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input, and can be remembered where you choose. Instatus signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

Events and webhooks
  • 01An incident was opened or updated
  • 02A maintenance was scheduled or updated
  • 03A component changed status
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Instatus is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Instatus + Memtro
  • Which incidents are unresolved on our status page?

  • What is the status of each component right now?

  • What was the API monitor's uptime over the last 30 days?

  • Is any maintenance scheduled this week?

  • Post an update on the login incident saying a fix is rolling out.

01

Morning status check

Tom Reilly, head of support at BigCo, asked what was down before the morning stand-up. Memtro listed the unresolved incidents with their latest updates and the components not yet operational. He opened the stand-up with the facts in hand.

02

Incident starts a job

When an incident was opened on Northwind's status page, Instatus told Memtro and a job started. It read the incident and the affected components, then prepared a summary for Sarah Chen, the on-call engineering lead. Nothing changed on the public page until she asked.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Instatus most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Instatus is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Engineering and operations

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI key
  1. 1

    In the Instatus dashboard, open User settings → Developer settings and copy your API key. It acts as you on every status page you belong to.

  2. 2

    In Memtro, open Connections → Instatus and paste the API key. Optionally add the Default status page ID, copied by right-clicking your project.

  3. 3

    An administrator grants the actions by name to the teams that may use them. Events are turned on from the connection's Events tab, and the address is then added as a webhook subscription on the public status page.

  4. 4

    Ask "What is down on our status page right now?"

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Instatus tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Instatus?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: open an incident on a status page; rename an incident or change its components; post an incident update, including resolving it; acknowledge an incident as the key's user; delete an incident; schedule a maintenance; post a maintenance update; delete a maintenance; change a component's status, name or description; add a component to a status page; post a notice on a status page; delete a notice; subscribe an email address to a status page; remove a subscriber from a status page; pause, mute or resume a monitor. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Instatus connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Instatus data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Instatus?+

API key. In the Instatus dashboard, open User settings → Developer settings and copy your API key. It acts as you on every status page you belong to.

Can Instatus start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Instatus, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Instatus's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
