Website Uptime Monitor with Slack Alerts (Cron)
Introduction
Never get blindsided by website downtime. This automation checks your site on a schedule and instantly alerts your Slack channel if anything looks off. ✅
Trigger Event
A cron schedule runs at the times you set (e.g., every 5 minutes, hourly, or daily).
Actions
- The workflow requests your website homepage and looks for a healthy 200 status.
- If the site responds with 200, the run quietly records that no alert is needed and stops there.
- If the site is unreachable or returns any other status, a clear Slack message is posted in your selected channel with the status, timestamp, and a button to open the site.
- Your team sees the alert instantly and can investigate before customers feel the impact.
Benefits
- Catch outages fast with real-time Slack alerts
- Simple, hands-off monitoring on a schedule you control
- Reduce manual checks and response time
- Keep teams aligned with a single alert channel
