This is the perfect engine to create a great support service:

Use this to monitor alerts coming from various system monitors (BB, logwatch, etc..) and have it take the escalation actions that an on-call person would typically perform.

I plan to use Zapier for a side project, but for alerting their fastest plan has a 5 minute lag (the free plan has 5 hours of lag)

(Disclaimer, I work for PagerDuty which totally does what you're talking about)
