Crypto Price Alert – n8n Workflow

A simple and effective crypto alert system for anyone who wants to stay up to date with coin price changes — without refreshing charts all day. This workflow checks the current price of your chosen cryptocurrency (via CoinGecko) and sends you an alert on Discord if it goes above or below your target range.

It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and runs on autopilot.


What the Workflow Does

  • Checks the live price of a selected coin using the CoinGecko API.
  • Compares it to the max/min prices you define manually.
  • Decides if the price is too high or too low.
  • Sends an alert message to Discord depending on the result.

How It Works

  • The flow is triggered manually or on a schedule (your choice).
  • It pulls the current price of the coin you set.
  • Compares that price with your min and max values.
  • Sends a “high” or “low” message to your Discord webhook.

Setup Steps

  • Enter your coin ID and price thresholds in the “Set Low and High” node.
  • Paste your Discord webhook URLs in the "Message High" and "Message Low" nodes.
  • Optional: Adjust the schedule trigger to run every X minutes/hours.
  • Run once manually to test — takes under 1 minutes.

Full instructions and config tips are in sticky notes inside the workflow.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/4759/4759.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.
