Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/308

This would allow failing a check with an explicit message, and getting that message in email:

curl -fsS -X POST -d "No space left on device" https://hc-ping.com/uuid/fail

Hello, this would be my first contribution but I have several years of experience in Python, Django and Linux Server Admin. Mind if I work on this issue?

@vdaynm sure, sounds good!

I'd like to do a bigger revamp of the email message (#348) but we can do it a step at a time.

Can you point me to the method or class that is sending the notification email, and should it be sent to all notification channels or only email?

Here: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/blob/master/hc/api/transports.py#L57

should it be sent to all notification channels or only email?

Do you mean, should the request body be included in all notification templates? – No, each notification type would need to be considered separately. For example there's no way the request body will fit in in a SMS message.

I would like to implement the same feature, but for Slack notifications. Would you like to track this with another issue?

I'm looking for this feature as well (in email, telegram, pushover integrations).

Seeing the request body without logging into to the dashboard would be extremely convenient, for obvious reasons.

I've updated the email template to include the last ping body:

@dlecan, @lukastribus:

The ping body can be 10KB – it may need to be truncated to, say, 1KB for IM notifications. Let's track each in a separate issue. I'm happy to review PRs.
