Automates periodic website uptime checks via HTTP requests and sends instant Slack alerts if the site is down (non-2xx status). Ideal for monitoring critical sites or APIs.
This n8n workflow monitors website availability on a schedule, using a Cron trigger to run checks at configurable intervals like every 15 minutes or hourly. It sends an HTTP GET request to the target URL, configured to ignore errors so the workflow continues even on failures. An If node then evaluates the response status code: if it's outside the 2xx success range, it triggers a Slack notification with details like the URL and error code.
