Pausing checks for a site or form

Updated June 17, 2026 · also available in the in-app Help center

You can pause Formitor's synthetic checks while a site or form is being worked on, so maintenance doesn't trigger false "form broken" or delivery-failure alerts. On the main dashboard, each site card has a Pause/Resume button (⏸) — pausing stops all test submissions and alerts for that site until you resume. While paused, the card shows a "Paused" badge and is dimmed so it doesn't read as healthy. (Admins can also pause at the whole-system, per-client, per-site, or per-form level from the admin Monitoring tab.)
