Title
Send HTTP requests to a list of URLs
Workflow name
Send HTTP requests to a list of URLs

How it works

This workflow reads a list of URLs every 15 minutes, and sends an HTTP request to every URL on the list.

Set up steps

  1. Schedule the workflow to run at your desired frequency (default is every 15 minutes).
  2. Add your desired URLs to the list. The list should be in the same format as the image below (Don't forget to have single quotes around every URL in the list, and separate each one with a comma!):

  1. Turn the workflow ON.

Ideas to customize the workflow for your own use cases:

  • Change the HTTP method
  • Add headers
  • Add a request body

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2276/2276.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.
