Cronitor provides "Cron monitoring and uptime healthchecks for websites, services and APIs," and borgmatic has built-in integration with it. Once you create a Cronitor account and cron job monitor on their site, all you need to do is configure borgmatic with the unique "Ping API URL" for your monitor. Here's an example:
cronitor:
ping_url: https://cronitor.link/d3x0c1
Prior to version 1.8.0 Put
this option in the hooks: section of your configuration.
With this configuration, borgmatic pings your Cronitor monitor when a backup
begins, ends, or errors, but only when any of the create, prune,
compact, or check actions are run. Then, if the actions complete
successfully or errors, borgmatic notifies Cronitor accordingly.
You can configure Cronitor to notify you by a variety of mechanisms when backups fail or it doesn't hear from borgmatic for a certain period of time.
