Video Introduction Want to automate your inbox or need a custom workflow? 📞 Book a Call | 💬 DM me on Linkedin Get Alerted When Your Website Is Down – n8n as an Uptime Robot Alternative If you manage a website (or client sites), getting notified when your site goes down is critical. But you’ve probably experienced alert fatigue if you’ve ever received a flood of downtime emails for every tiny outage. These short hiccups are common, and most monitoring tools don’t let you filter them out. Here’s how you can set up website downtime notifications with n8n - no extra subscriptions, and no more false positives spamming your inbox. For your most important sites, you can even get direct text alerts to your phone. We’ll use n8n, a powerful automation tool with thousands of templates and integrations. You can run it in the cloud or even self-host it for free. Why Use n8n for Website Monitoring? Uptime Robot and similar services have limitations or get expensive fast if you monitor several sites. n8n gives you full control - you choose when and how you get notified, set your own timing and thresholds, and you aren’t stuck with default alert logic. Plus, n8n can automate much more than just uptime monitoring: use it to handle other business workflows too. Quick Start: Free n8n Website Monitoring Template Use the template to get started fast. Log in or sign up for n8n Cloud, or self-host for free if you prefer. Configure your schedule (default: hourly) and list the sites you want to monitor. Key setting: wait seconds. Recommended: 300 seconds (5 minutes). If your site goes down, the workflow waits before sending an alert—no notification for a 1-2 minute outage, only real, persistent problems. How to Test & Use Activate the workflow. Toggle it on in n8n and it’ll check your sites automatically. Test instantly: Add a non-existent URL and run the workflow. After the wait time, you’ll get an email alert for that URL. Notifications stay organized: Alerts go straight to your inbox (see my AI email labelling template if you want color-coded organization). Get Critical Alerts on Your Phone (Telegram) Email is great, but for your most important sites you want instant notifications on your phone. Best option: Use Telegram. n8n can send you messages via a Telegram bot—easy to set up, free, and works in seconds. How: Create a Telegram bot via BotFather (instructions in the template). Add your bot token and chat ID to n8n. Now, you’ll get downtime alerts right on Telegram—no missed notifications, no extra costs. FAQ Can I monitor unlimited sites?** Yes, just list them all in the config. What if downtime is just a few seconds?** The default 5-minute wait filters these out. Do I need a paid n8n plan?** No - self-hosting is free, and the workflow works on free plans. Why not SMS or WhatsApp?** Telegram bots are fastest, easiest, and don’t require extra API setup or subscriptions.

How to use the workflow This workflow takes a Loom link, extracts the video ID, uses the Loom API to download the video, then sends it to Gemini along with your question. Finally, it sends the output to Slack. To use it, you just need to add your own API key for Gemini and Slack connection. Click the link above to get your Gemini API key, then add a generic "Query auth" type credential in n8n. The name will be "key" and the value will be your API key. One way to customize this workflow would be to make the trigger any received email, extract the Loom link, and run an auto-prompt like "Describe this video in detail".

📩🤖 This workflow automatically processes emails received in Gmail, extracts their attachments, and organizes them into specific folders in Google Drive based on the sender's email address. Note: The workflow avoids duplicates by checking folder existence before creation. Benefits: ✅ Automated Organization: No need to manually sort or download email attachments. 📁 Sender-based Categorization: Files are stored in clearly labeled folders per sender, improving traceability and reducing clutter. ⏱ Time-saving: Reduces repetitive administrative tasks by automating the workflow end-to-end. 🔁 Modular and Scalable: Can be easily extended or reused with other services (e.g., Dropbox, S3) or integrated into larger document workflows. 🔐 Secure Cloud Storage: Attachments are safely backed up in Google Drive, minimizing the risk of data loss from email. How It Works Trigger: The workflow can be triggered manually ("When clicking ‘Execute workflow’) or automatically (via Gmail Trigger polling emails every minute). Email Processing: Fetches emails (with attachments) from Gmail within a date range (default: July 6–9, 2025). For each email, checks if it contains attachments (via IF node). Folder Management: Searches Google Drive for a folder named after the sender’s email address (under parent folder "Email Attachments"). Creates the folder if it doesn’t exist. Attachment Handling: Splits out binary attachments, extracts filenames, and uploads each file to the sender’s dedicated folder in Google Drive. Sub-Workflow Execution: Uses Execute Workflow to modularize the upload process (reusable for other workflows). Set Up Steps Google Services: Connect Gmail and Google Drive nodes to your accounts via OAuth2. Ensure the parent folder "Email Attachments" (ID: 1EitwWVd5rKZTlvOreB4R-6xxxxxx) exists in Google Drive. Adjust Date Range: Modify receivedAfter/receivedBefore in the Get emails node to target specific emails. Test: Run manually to verify folder creation and attachment uploads. Activate Automation: Enable the Gmail Trigger for real-time processing (currently active: false). Need help customizing? Contact me for consulting and support or add me on Linkedin.

Automatically Send Weekly Sales Reports from Square via Outlook What It Does This workflow automatically connects to the Square API and generates a weekly sales summary report for all your Square locations. The report matches the figures displayed in Square Dashboard > Reports > Sales Summary. It's designed to run weekly and pull the previous week’s sales into a CSV file, which is then sent to a manager/finance team for analysis. This workflow builds on my previous template, which allows users to automatically pull data from the Square API into n8n for processing. (See here: https://n8n.io/workflows/6358) Prerequisites To use this workflow, you'll need: A Square API credential (configured as a Header Auth credential) A Microsoft Outlook credential How to Set Up Square Credentials: Go to Credentials > Create New Choose Header Auth Set the Name to Authorization Set the Value to your Square Access Token (e.g., Bearer <your-api-key>) How It Works Trigger: The workflow runs every Monday at 4:00 AM Fetch Locations: An HTTP request retrieves all Square locations linked to your account Fetch Orders: For each location, an HTTP request pulls completed orders for the previous week (e.g., Monday to Sunday) Filter Empty Locations: Locations with no sales are ignored Aggregate Sales Data: A Code node processes the order data and produces a summary identical to Square’s built-in Sales Summary report Create CSV File: A CSV file is created containing the relevant data Send Email: An email is sent via Microsoft Outlook to the chosen third party Example Use Cases Automatically send weekly Square sales data to management to improve the quality of planning and scheduling decisions Automatically send data to an external third party, such as a landlord or agent, who is paid via commission Automatically send data to a bookkeeper for entry into QuickBooks How to Use Configure both HTTP Request nodes to use your Square API credential Set the workflow to Active so it runs automatically Enter the email address of the person you want to send the report to and update the message body If you want to remove the n8n attribution, you can do so in the last node Customization Options Add pagination to handle locations with more than 1,000 orders per week Why It's Useful This workflow saves time, reduces manual report pulling from Square, and enables smarter automation around sales data — whether for operations, finance, or performance monitoring.
