Host your own Uptime Monitoring with Scheduled Triggers
Keep tabs on every site you run without paying for enterprise monitoring. A scheduled checker pings your URLs, alerts the right people the moment anything drops, and keeps a running log of incidents.

Detail
What it actually does.
- Reads your list of website URLs from a central Google Sheet on a recurring schedule
- Pings each site via HTTP and classifies the response as up or down
- Fires Slack and Gmail alerts the moment a site fails its check
- Updates the sheet with current status so the team has a single source of truth
- Writes a timestamped log entry for every incident to support post-mortems
- Runs as often as every five minutes for near real-time coverage
- Scales to as many URLs as you want to track without per-monitor fees
Common questions
Before you book a call.
Answers to what most teams ask when they look at a workflow like this. If yours is not here, ask us on the call.
Can you build this it ops workflow for our team?
Yes. We design and ship workflows like this as part of our Workflow Automation practice. The fastest way to scope it is a 30-minute call — we share what we would build, what it would cost, and how fast it would ship.
What tools does this workflow use?
The default build connects Google Sheets, HTTP Request, and Slack, plus 1 other integrations. The same pattern works on n8n, Make, or Zapier for simpler runs, or as a custom Node or Python service when reliability and volume justify the build. See Workflow Automation for how we choose the right platform per use case.
What does a build like this typically cost?
Most workflows of this complexity sit inside a Discovery sprint or a small Build engagement rather than a fixed-price product. See our pricing model for how engagements are structured, or book a call and we will scope this specific workflow against your stack.
Have you shipped something like this for clients?
Yes. See our case studies for examples of automation and AI builds we have delivered, including a podcast platform we took from zero to 261K monthly Google impressions in six months on a content + automation engine.
What other IT Ops workflows can you build?
Plenty. Browse our other IT Ops workflow ideas for documented patterns, or tell us what you would like to automate — most clients arrive with a problem rather than a specific workflow in mind.
