Website Uptime Monitor & Alert
This automation checks your website (or any URL) every 5 minutes. The instant it returns an error or stops responding, you get an alert on both Telegram and email simultaneously, and the incident is logged to Google Sheets — so you catch outages before your customers do.
Automation flow
Check Every 5 Minutes
A schedule trigger runs the check continuously.
Ping Website
An HTTP request checks your site's response.
Is Down?
Any error status or timeout is treated as downtime.
Alert
Telegram and email alerts fire simultaneously.
Log Incident
The outage is recorded in Google Sheets.
How it works
Every 5 minutes, the workflow pings your site. If the response is missing or an error status, it fires a Telegram message and an email simultaneously, then logs the incident to your sheet — so you have both instant alerts and a historical record.

A rough estimate based on what you enter above — not a guarantee. Actual time saved depends on your process.
Make it yours
- Change the check interval in Check Every 5 Minutes (e.g. every minute for critical services).
- Add a second HTTP Request node to check an API endpoint instead of a webpage.
- Chain a "back up" notification: since the trigger runs continuously, once the site recovers no further alerts fire — add an extra branch on the "false" output of Is Down? if you also want a "back online" message the first time it recovers (compare against the previous run using n8n's static data).
