+## Cronhub hook
+
+[Cronhub](https://cronhub.io/) provides "instant alerts when any of your
+background jobs fail silently or run longer than expected", and borgmatic has
+built-in integration with it. Once you create a Cronhub account and monitor on
+their site, all you need to do is configure borgmatic with the unique "Ping
+URL" for your monitor. Here's an example:
+
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    cronhub: https://cronhub.io/start/1f5e3410-254c-11e8-b61d-55875966d031
+```
+
+With this hook in place, borgmatic pings your Cronhub monitor when a backup
+begins, ends, or errors. Specifically, before the <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/">`before_backup`
+hooks</a> run, borgmatic lets Cronhub know that a backup has started. Then,
+if the backup completes successfully, borgmatic notifies Cronhub of the
+success after the `after_backup` hooks run. And if an error occurs during the
+backup, borgmatic notifies Cronhub after the `on_error` hooks run.
+
+Note that even though you configure borgmatic with the "start" variant of the
+ping URL, borgmatic substitutes the correct state into the URL when pinging
+Cronhub ("start", "finish", or "fail").
+
+You can configure Cronhub to notify you by a [variety of
+mechanisms](https://docs.cronhub.io/integrations.html) when backups fail
+or it doesn't hear from borgmatic for a certain period of time.
