Website Status Monitoring Workflow

This workflow is ideal for:

• Website Administrators: Those who need to monitor the uptime of their websites regularly.
• DevOps Engineers: Professionals looking to automate site monitoring and alerting processes.
• Small Business Owners: Individuals who want to ensure their online presence is always accessible to customers.
• IT Support Teams: Teams responsible for maintaining website functionality and performance.

By utilizing this automated workflow, these groups can proactively manage website uptime and minimize downtime impact.

This workflow addresses the challenge of website downtime monitoring by automating the process of checking the status of multiple websites at regular intervals. It ensures that:

• Immediate Alerts are sent via Slack and Email when a site goes down or changes status, allowing for quick response times.
• Logging of Events into Google Sheets provides a historical record of site performance, aiding in analysis and reporting.
• Scheduled Checks reduce the need for manual monitoring, saving time and resources.

1. Schedule Trigger: The workflow initiates every 6 hours to check the status of specified websites.
2. Get Sites: It retrieves a list of websites from a Google Sheet.
3. For Each Site: The workflow iterates through each site to perform checks.
4. Perform Site Test: An HTTP Request is made to each site to check its status code.
5. Calculate Status: Based on the response, it determines if the site is UP or DOWN and identifies any status changes.
6. Status Router: Depending on the calculated status, it routes the workflow for further actions:
   • If the site remains UP, it logs the event.
   • If the site goes DOWN or changes from DOWN to UP, it triggers alerts.
7. Send Alerts: Notifications are sent via Slack and Email to inform stakeholders of the status change.
8. Log Uptime Event: Records the event in Google Sheets for future reference.
9. Update Site Status: Updates the status of the site in the Google Sheet to reflect the latest check.
