Linearloop Team This workflow corresponds to n8n.io template #8624 — we link there as the canonical source.
This workflow follows the GitHub → HTTP Request recipe pattern — see all workflows that pair these two integrations.

"content": "# \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Automated Website Uptime Monitor with Email Alerts & GitHub Status Page Update \n\nThis n8n workflow continuously monitors your website\u2019s availability, sends **email alerts** when the server goes down, and automatically updates a **status page (index.html)** in your GitHub repository to reflect the live status. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udccc Good to Know \n- The workflow checks your website every **2 minutes** (interval configurable). \n- If the website is **down (503, bad response, or error)** \u2192 it sends an email alert and updates the GitHub-hosted status page to show **Down**. \n- If the website is **up (200)** \u2192 it updates the GitHub-hosted status page to show **Up**. \n- The email notification includes an **HTML-formatted alert page**. \n- You can use GitHub Pages to **host the status page** publicly.\n\n### \u2139\ufe0f What is GitHub Pages? \n- GitHub Pages is a free hosting service provided by GitHub that lets you publish **static websites (HTML, CSS, JS)** directly from a GitHub repository. \n- You can use it to make your `index.html` status page publicly accessible with a URL like: \n\n\n### \u26a1 How to Set Up GitHub Pages for Your Status Page \n1. Create a **new repository** on GitHub (recommended name: `status`). \n2. Add a blank `index.html` file (n8n workflow will later update this file). \n3. Go to your repository \u2192 **Settings** \u2192 **Pages**. \n4. Under **Source**, select the branch (`main` or `master`) and folder (`/root`). \n5. Save changes. \n6. Your status page will now be live at: `https://<USERNAME>.github.io/status`\n\n\n## \u2705 Prerequisites \n- An **n8n instance** (self-hosted or cloud). \n- A **GitHub account & repository** (to host the status page). \n- A **Gmail account** (or any email service supported by n8n \u2013 example uses Gmail). \n- Access to the target **website URL** you want to monitor. \n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f How it Works \n1. **Schedule Trigger** \u2192 Runs every 2 minutes. \n2. **HTTP Request** \u2192 Pings your website URL. \n3. **Switch Node** \u2192 Evaluates the response status (200 OK vs error/503). \n4. **Code Node** \u2192 Generates a dynamic **HTML status page** (Up/Down).\n5. **GitHub Repo & File** \u2192 Github Repo Name Should be `https://github.com/<OWNER_NAME>/status` (recommended) & Must have(required) a blank file named as `index.html` before triggering this flow.\n5. **GitHub Node** \u2192 Updates/commits the `index.html` file in your repository. \n6. **Gmail Node** \u2192 Sends an email alert if the site is down. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\ude80 How to Use \n1. Import the workflow JSON into your **n8n instance**. \n2. Configure credentials for: \n - **GitHub** (Personal Access Token with repo permissions). \n - **Gmail** (or your preferred email service). \n3. Replace the following: \n - `https://app.yourdomain.com/health` \u2192 with your own website URL. \n - `example@gmail.com` \u2192 with your email address (or distribution list). \n - GitHub repo details \u2192 with your repository where `index.html` will live. \n4. Deploy the workflow. \n5. (Optional) Enable **GitHub Pages** on your repo to serve `index.html` as a live status page. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Requirements \n- n8n v1.0+ \n- GitHub personal access token \n- Gmail API credentials (or SMTP/email service of your choice) \n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfa8 Customising this Workflow \n- **Interval** \u2192 Change schedule from 2 minutes to any desired frequency. \n- **Email Content** \u2192 Modify HTML alert template in the Gmail node. \n- **Status Page Styling** \u2192 Edit the HTML/CSS in the Code node to match your branding. \n- **Error Handling** \u2192 Extend Switch node for other status codes (e.g., 404, 500). \n- **Multiple Websites** \u2192 Duplicate HTTP Request + Switch nodes for multiple URLs. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udc64 Who Can Use It? \n- **DevOps & SRE Engineers** \u2192 For automated uptime monitoring. \n- **Freelancers/Developers** \u2192 To monitor client websites. \n- **Startups & SMEs** \u2192 For a free, lightweight status page without paid tools. \n- **Educators/Students** \u2192 As a hands-on learning project with n8n. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udf1f Key Features \n- \ud83d\udd04 Automated uptime checks (configurable interval). \n- \ud83d\udce7 Email notifications on downtime. \n- \ud83d\udcdd Dynamic HTML status page generation. \n- \ud83c\udf0d GitHub Pages integration for public visibility. \n- \u26a1 Lightweight & cost-effective (no paid monitoring tool needed). \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd17 Tools Integration \n- **n8n** \u2013 Orchestration & automation. \n- **GitHub** \u2013 Version control + hosting of status page. \n- **Gmail** \u2013 Email notifications. \n- **HTTP Request** \u2013 Website availability check. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udcc8 Example Use Cases \n- Personal website monitoring with public status page. \n- Monitoring SaaS apps & notifying support teams. \n- Internal company services uptime dashboard. \n "
