Scheduled Website Uptime Monitor with Slack Alert

Is your website critical to your business? Every minute of downtime means lost revenue, unhappy customers, and a damaged reputation. Manually checking your site is time-consuming and unreliable.

Introducing the Automated Website Uptime Monitor for n8n – your reliable, self-hosted solution to ensure your online presence is always active. This powerful n8n workflow continuously checks your website's status and immediately alerts your team via Slack if it detects any issues.

Stop worrying about outages and start focusing on your business!

🚀 What This Workflow Does:

This n8n template sets up a robust system that:

• Periodically Pings Your Website: Configured to check your website's availability at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or hourly).
• Detects Downtime Instantly: Identifies non-200 HTTP status codes, indicating your site is unreachable or experiencing an error.
• Sends Immediate Slack Alerts: Notifies your team in a dedicated Slack channel the moment an issue is detected, including the exact URL and status code.
• Self-Healing (with manual intervention): Provides the crucial first step for your team to quickly diagnose and resolve problems.

💡 Key Advantages & Why You Need This:

• Zero Ongoing SaaS Fees: Unlike expensive dedicated monitoring services, this is a one-time purchase. Once set up on your n8n instance, you own the monitoring solution without recurring monthly costs.
• Complete Data Privacy: Your website's uptime data stays within your n8n instance and Slack workspace – no third-party sharing.
• Unlimited Monitoring: Monitor as many websites as you need without tiered pricing based on checks or alerts.
• Instant Notification: Get alerted the moment an issue occurs, allowing for rapid response and minimal downtime.
• Easy to Customize: Built on n8n, you can easily modify the checking frequency, add more notification channels (email, Telegram, etc.), or integrate with other tools.
• Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing you'll be the first to know if your critical online assets face an issue.
• Reliable & Robust: Built with error handling to ensure consistent monitoring.
