UptimeRobot StrawberrySomeone still has to update monitor status. It does not have to be you
UptimeRobot exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: update monitor status, create a monitor and create an alert contact. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the alert contact. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the UptimeRobot afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a alert contact until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what UptimeRobot exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, no reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can update monitor status, create a monitor and create an alert contact, and work across the alert contacts, monitors and monitor statuses.
The UptimeRobot API stops at UptimeRobot. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the alert contacts or ask you for them?
In the tab.
UptimeRobot exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens UptimeRobot in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The alert contacts are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the monitors. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of UptimeRobot admin becomes a queue you review.
What happens before it can update monitor status?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update monitor status, create a monitor and create an alert contact, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the alert contact, the field and the new value before it lands in UptimeRobot.
Nothing in UptimeRobot is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the alert contact exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Does the alert contact sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the UptimeRobot alert contacts pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the infrastructure checks, the UptimeRobot alert contacts sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
