Recently, we rolled out Direct Integrations to make creating and managing your checks in CheckCentral easier and faster than ever. We’ve been thrilled to see so many of you taking advantage of these. To encourage more of our customers to take full advantage of these new integrations, we want to ensure that scaling your monitoring is just as effortless as setting it up.

That’s why we’re excited to announce an update to our pricing structure designed specifically to help you scale.

To ensure you can fully leverage our Direct Integrations, we are introducing bulk pricing discounts that begin at 400 checks and scale up from there. You can save up to 84% with these new bulk discounts compared to our old pricing. Here is what this means for you:

This new pricing will be rolled-out on May 14th. You can check out the new pricing page on that day to quickly see how the bulk discounts work. Here are a few examples:

If you’ve been holding off on adding more checks, now is the perfect time to explore our Direct Integrations and see how easily you can bring all your notifications under one roof.

Note: The bulk discount is automatically applied to your account as soon as your active checks reach the 400-check threshold. No action is required on your part!

As always, if you have any questions about the new pricing structure or need assistance setting up your Direct Integrations, our support team is here to help. Reach out via email at support@checkcentral.cc

We're very excited to announce that you can now configure an Autotask Workflow + Extension Callout to have CheckCentral mark your Check as successful if the ticket gets closed on the Autotask side!

In CheckCentral, you can view the URL you'll need, plus the instructions on how to configure Autotask, at the bottom of the configuration dialog for the Autotask ticketing channel:

To get to the dialog above, navigate to Services > External Ticketing, then open the Edit dialog for your Autotask ticketing channel, or add a new Autotask ticketing channel if you don't already have one configured. Follow the steps listed there to configure an Extension Callout in Autotask, then configure a Workflow to call that Extension Callout when a ticket is closed.

We hope this feature will help you streamline your workflow and cut down on administrative work! This new feature is available across all paid subscription plans. If you have any questions, feedback, or other thoughts, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We're very excited to introduce Check Templates! Check Templates are a collection of saved settings you can assign to multiple checks. They come in three varieties:

Now, when creating a check, instead of manually entering in various settings, you can choose to use your Check Templates when configuring Schedule, Status & Notifications. If you need to edit settings in the future, you can quickly modify your check template & any check that is configured to use that template will automatically use the new settings.

You can also apply your templates to existing checks, either one at a time or via the Bulk Edit feature on the Checks page.

Check Templates can be created a couple of different ways:

To create a new check template from scratch, head to the Check Templates page (Checks -> Check Templates).

Simply click the Add Template button for the type of template you'd like to create. You'll be presented with the New Template page. Simply fill out the settings, give your new template a name, and it'll be ready to go.

If you'd like to copy settings from an existing check to a template, simply view the check you'd like to copy settings from. You'll see new Copy to Template buttons in the Status, Schedule & Notifications sections. Simply click the button, give your template a name, and it'll be ready to go.

To use your new templates, you can use the new Template selector when creating or editing a check. You'll see this dropdown in the Schedule, Status & Notifications sections when creating or editing a check:

Simply choose the template you'd like to use, and you'll see the settings included in the template displayed: This check will now use the selected settings included in the template.

To edit the settings in a template, simply head to the Check Templates page (Checks -> Check Templates) and click the Edit Template button beside the template you'd like to edit. Make your changes & save the template. Your new settings will automatically be applied to any checks that are configured to use this template.

Check Templates will simplify the management of your checks, and we're excited for you to start using them! This new feature is available across all subscription plans. If you have any questions, feedback, or other thoughts, please don't hesitate to contact us.
