Automatically sends a Mattermost message with timestamp whenever your n8n instance starts or restarts.
This simple yet effective workflow uses the n8n Trigger node to detect instance initialization ('init' event) and immediately posts a notification to a specified Mattermost channel via the Mattermost node. The message includes the exact startup timestamp for precise logging.
Benefits include real-time monitoring of n8n uptime, quick alerts on restarts or crashes, and seamless integration into team communication channels without manual checks. It's ideal for self-hosted n8n users, DevOps teams,
