How to use StakPuls

StakPuls helps you feel less overwhelmed by cloud services email alerts. Instead of sifting through your inbox, you get a clear, structured overview of your infrastructure health.

Everything you need to start monitoring your cloud infrastructures. All in one place, without the noise.

Getting started

StakPuls monitors your infrastructure by reading the alert emails your cloud services already send you. There is no API key setup, no billing integration, and no agent to install. The three steps to get started are:

  1. Create an account and add your first project.
  2. Set up an email filter to forward cloud service alerts to your unique StakPuls address.
  3. Send a test email — StakPuls will parse it and show it on your Overview within seconds.

Forward emails — Gmail

Gmail lets you create filters that automatically forward emails matching certain conditions. We create one filter per cloud service — each filter only forwards emails from that specific sender, leaving everything else in your inbox untouched.

Note: You need your personal StakPuls forwarding address. Find it on the Setup page or in the account dropdown → Forwarding address. It looks like signals+abc123@stakpuls.com.
1

Open Gmail filter settings

Go to Settings → See all settings → click the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab → click Create a new filter.
2

Set the sender condition

In the From field, enter the sender address for the service you want to monitor. For example: noreply@vercel.com, noreply@railway.app, noreply@openai.com, or noreply@supabase.io. Then click Create filter.
3

Set the forward action

Tick Forward it to and enter your personal StakPuls address (e.g. signals+abc123@stakpuls.com). Click Create filter to save.
4

Repeat for each service

Create one filter per cloud service you want to monitor. Common senders to add:
noreply@vercel.comnoreply@railway.appnoreply@openai.comnoreply@supabase.ionoreply@cloudflare.comnoreply@render.comnoreply@netlify.com

Forward emails — Outlook

Outlook uses Rules to automatically forward emails. Like Gmail, create one rule per service.

1

Open Outlook Rules

Go to Settings → View all Outlook settings →Mail → Rules → click Add new rule.
2

Set the sender condition

Under Add a condition, select From and enter the sender address (e.g. noreply@vercel.com).
3

Set the forward action

Under Add an action, select Forward to and enter your StakPuls address. Click Save.
4

Repeat for each service

Create one rule per cloud service. Use the same sender list as Gmail above.

Create a project

Projects group your infrastructure by what you're building. For example, if you have a SaaS app using Vercel + Supabase + OpenAI, that's one project. If you also have a portfolio site on Vercel + Cloudflare, that's a second project.

1

Click "+ Add a project"

Go to the Projects screen and click the dashed Add a project card at the end of the grid.
2

Name your project

Enter a descriptive name, e.g. AI Resume Builder or Portfolio Site. You can rename it later from the project card.
3

Select services

Tick the services your project uses. If a service is not listed, type it in the custom input and press Enter. StakPuls will match incoming emails to projects based on these service names.
4

Click "Create project"

Your project appears in the grid immediately. The risk indicator starts at Safe and updates as signals arrive.

Assign services to a project

When StakPuls parses an incoming email, it extracts the service name (e.g. “Vercel”) from the email content. If that service is listed on a project, the signal is automatically linked to that project.

Note: If a signal arrives for a service not assigned to any project, it will appear on the Signals screen without a project label. You can add the service to an existing project at any time — future signals from that service will be automatically linked.

To update a project's services: go to the Projects screen, click the project card's signal count link, or re-open the project to edit. (Editing existing projects is coming in a future update.)

Reading your signals

Each parsed email becomes a signal — a structured, AI-interpreted card with three parts:

Risk level

RISK (act now), WATCH (monitor), or SAFE (informational). Risk level controls the left rail colour on Signals, the card glow on Overview, and the bell badge count.

Summary

A one-sentence explanation of what happened, written in plain language.

Suggested action

One concrete thing you can do about it. For SAFE signals this is usually 'No action needed.'

Click any signal to open its detail view. Use Mark as read to dismiss it — it will appear dimmed in the list and the bell badge count will decrease.
