I created this tool to post UptimeRobot alerts to twitter. Everything is customizable
Live Example
- Download Latest Release Here
- Unzip and upload to a web accessible folder
- Add a new alert in UptimeRobot in the 'Web-Hook' category
For example if your script is at spencerl.com/twitterbot/urtb.php the URL to Notify will be spencerl.com/twitterbot/urtb.php? - Configure twitter. See below
You need to make 4 keys from twitter to get this working.

Once you have the 4 keys put them in the config.php
You can customize how the messages look when posting to Twitter. You can customize it to however you would like. Just needs to be below 140 chacters. But it can inculde emoji, ascii, links, hashtags, anything! You can customize the message with the variables below.
