Automated Website Uptime Monitoring with Email Alerts
detail.loadingPreview
Never miss a critical website outage again with this automated n8n workflow. It proactively checks your website's status every 5 minutes and instantly sends a detailed email alert if downtime is detected, ensuring you're always informed and can react swiftly.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust, automated solution for continuously monitoring your website's uptime and ensuring prompt notification in case of an issue. Configured to run every five minutes, it sends an HTTP GET request to your specified domain. If the website's status code indicates any problem (e.g., not a 200 OK), an immediate, detailed HTML email alert is dispatched to your team. This proactive approach allows you to react quickly to outages, minimize downtime, and maintain a professional online presence without the need for constant manual checks. It's an indispensable tool for maintaining website reliability and user trust, all managed within a no-code environment.
Key Features
- Automated Scheduling: Configured to check your website's status every 5 minutes, 24/7, for continuous monitoring.
- Real-time Downtime Detection: Instantly identifies if your website returns an error status code, triggering immediate action.
- Instant Email Alerts: Dispatches a customizable HTML email notification upon detecting any form of downtime.
- Customizable Monitoring: Easily change the website URL, check interval, and alert recipients to fit your specific needs.
- No-Code Setup: Quickly deploy and manage comprehensive website monitoring without writing a single line of code.
How To Use
- Configure "Schedule Website Check": This node is pre-set to run every 5 minutes. You can adjust the interval (e.g., 1 minute, 15 minutes) by editing the 'Rule' parameter in the node's settings.
- Set "Check Website Status": Replace
https://yourdomain.comin the 'URL' parameter with the actual URL of the website you wish to monitor. Ensure the 'Method' is set to 'GET'. - Adjust "Website Down?" (Optional): The 'If' node is set to check for any status code not equal to 200 (OK). If you need more specific error handling (e.g., checking for 404, 500 specifically), you can modify these conditions.
- Customize "Send Downtime Email Alert":
- Change
your@email.comin both the 'To Email' and 'From Email' fields to your desired sender and recipient addresses. - Modify the 'Subject' or 'HTML' body content to personalize the alert message further.
- Change
- Activate and Test: Save the workflow and activate it. Perform a test run to ensure emails are sent correctly (you might temporarily change the monitored URL to a non-existent one for testing purposes).
