Overview

This workflow template monitors a website by performing a GET request on the URL of the designated website. Users can configure the frequency of monitoring by setting up the Schedule trigger according to their preferences. Additionally, an error handling workflow can be integrated to send alerts in case the GET request fails, ensuring proactive notification of any issues encountered during the monitoring process.

How the template works

1. The workflow initiates a GET request to the specified URL of the website that requires monitoring. This request retrieves the website's content, enabling the workflow to assess its accessibility and responsiveness.

2. Users have the flexibility to configure the schedule trigger according to their monitoring requirements. The frequency of execution can be adjusted to ensure timely and consistent monitoring of the website.

3. An error handling workflow is can be integrated to handle situations where the GET request fails. In the event of a failed request, the error handling workflow is triggered to address the issue.
