This cron job sends a request to an API or website of your choice and will alert you if they are down.

​
Time Frequence

The default template will execute once a day. You can adjust the timing under Conditions in the top action block if you want this job to be executed in higher frequency.

​
HTTP request

Replace https://www.google.com with the API or website domain you want to check for. Don’t forget to specify your authentication credentials in your request configuration in case you need any.

​
Check Status code

The default template uses an If Condition with syntax:
  • {{steps.get-status-code.outputs.Status}} = 200
to see if the returned status code is 200. You can customize this step by either checking for a different status code or using a Switch Condition if you want to check on a more granular level.

​
Alert

In case the status code is anything but a 200 code, you will receive a notification through Slack. You can change this or add additional communication platforms like Email or SMS
