Yes, clients need to know "pagelevels" too. They trigger their own
alerts based on this information.

Also, "green" is not recommended here. It might not do any harm but,
if it was respected, everything would be sending alerts all the time.
If what you are looking for is an alert when a status returns to
"green", you need to set the "pagerecovered" token.

Cheers, Phil.
