1.1 Workflow description

Title
Monitor website uptime with Google Sheets and Gmail alerts
Workflow name
Monitor website uptime with Google Sheets and Gmail alerts

Webpage Down Detector automatically monitors your website pages and alerts you if any go down. This workflow saves time, prevents silent downtime, and keeps your website reliable.

How it works:

  • Fetches all webpage links from a Google Sheet daily

  • Checks the status of each page to see if it’s still up

  • Compiles a list of pages that are down or unreachable

  • Sends the list to you so you can quickly fix the issues

  • Ensures you don’t have to monitor dozens (or hundreds) of pages manually

You need to configure

  • Your own Google Sheets
  • Your Gmail account

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/11380/11380.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
