Website Downgrade and Upgrade Manager

A scheduled check that emails the website's up or down status through Gmail.

  • n8n
  • Schedule trigger
  • HTTP request
  • If condition
  • Gmail

The problem

When a website goes down, the owner often hears about it from a customer. Every hour offline can cost sales, and nobody wants to check the site by hand.

The solution

On a schedule, the workflow sends a request to the website and checks the answer. Depending on the result, it prepares a status message and emails it through Gmail: one message when the site is up and a different one when it is not.

How it works

  1. A schedule starts the checkThe workflow runs automatically at a set interval.
  2. It requests the websiteAn HTTP request is sent to the website's address.
  3. It checks the resultAn If node decides whether the site answered correctly.
  4. It prepares the statusAn Edit Fields node sets the status message for the up case or the down case.
  5. It emails the resultA Gmail node sends the status email. Up and down use separate branches.

See it working

The n8n workflow: a schedule trigger runs an HTTP request, an If node splits the result into two branches, and each branch edits fields and sends a Gmail message.
The n8n workflow.
The execution log: schedule trigger, HTTP request, If, edit fields and the Gmail message all succeeded in about 3 seconds.
A successful run.
The Gmail message titled Website is UP, sent automatically by n8n.
The status email in the inbox.

What the demo shows

  • A run where every node finished successfully, in about three seconds.
  • The “Website is UP” email arriving in the inbox, sent automatically by n8n.

A good fit for

  • Small businesses with a website or online shop
  • Agencies that look after client websites
  • Offices that rely on an internal web tool
