How to Pause Alerts Temporarily

If you need to temporarily stop receiving alerts—for a single domain, a group of domains, or your entire account—Domainyze provides several ways to manage this without deleting your data.

1. Disable Monitoring for Specific Domains

Disabling monitoring is the most effective way to "pause" everything for a domain. When monitoring is disabled, Domainyze stops performing background checks (Whois/RDAP, DNS, and SSL), which means no alerts will be triggered and no background jobs will be scheduled.

To disable monitoring for a single domain:

1. Navigate to your Watchlist or Portfolio.
2. Locate the domain in the list.
3. Toggle the Monitoring switch (located on the right side of the domain row) to "Off".
4. Alternatively, click on the domain to open its detail page and toggle the monitoring status in the header card.

Note: Disabling monitoring preserves all your historical data. You can re-enable it at any time to resume checks.

2. Disable Specific Alert Types

If you want to keep monitoring a domain but stop receiving certain types of notifications (e.g., stop SSL expiry warnings but keep DNS change alerts), you can customize the settings for each domain.

1. Go to the domain's detail page.
2. Navigate to the Monitoring Preferences or Alert Settings section.
3. Uncheck or toggle off specific monitoring options:
   • SSL Monitoring: Stops checking and alerting for SSL certificate issues.
   • DNS Monitoring: Stops checking and alerting for DNS record changes.
4. For Watchlist domains, you can also customize which status changes (like "Available") trigger an alert.
5. For Portfolio domains, you can adjust the Expiry Alert Days to receive fewer reminders.

3. Pause All Notifications Account-Wide

If you want to stop all emails or webhooks temporarily for your entire account (e.g., while on vacation), you can do this in your Account Settings.

1. Go to Account Settings > Notifications.
2. Toggle Email Alerts to "Off".
3. Toggle Webhook Alerts to "Off".

Difference between Disabling Monitoring vs. Disabling Notifications:

• Disabling Monitoring: Stops the actual background checks. Data will not be updated while monitoring is off.
• Disabling Notifications: Domainyze continues to monitor your domains and update their status in the dashboard, but no emails or webhooks will be sent to you.
