Template description

Workflow Purpose

This workflow periodically checks a service's availability and sends an SMS notification if the service is down.

High-Level Steps

Schedule Trigger: The workflow is triggered at a specified interval, such as every minute.
HTTP Request: An HTTP request is sent to the URL of the service being monitored.
If: The HTTP status code of the response is checked.
If the status code is 200 (OK), the workflow ends.
If the status code is not 200, indicating a potential issue, an SMS notification is sent using Twilio.

Setup

Setting up this workflow is relatively straightforward and should only take a few minutes:

  1. Create a new n8n workflow.
  2. Add the nodes: Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request, If, and Twilio.
  3. Configure the nodes:
  • Schedule Trigger: Specify the desired interval.
  • HTTP Request: Enter the URL of the service to be monitored.
  • If: Set the condition to check for a status code other than 200.
  1. Twilio: Enter the Twilio account credentials and the phone numbers for sending and receiving the SMS notification.
  2. Connect the nodes: Connect the nodes as shown in the workflow diagram.
  3. Activate the workflow: Save the workflow and activate it.

Additional Notes

  • The workflow can be customized by changing the interval, the URL, the Twilio credentials, and the SMS message.
  • This workflow is a simple example, and more complex workflows can be created to meet specific needs.

Git backup of workflows and credentials

This creates a git backup of the workflows and credentials. It uses the n8n export command with git diff, so you can run as many times as you want, but only when there are changes they will create a commit. Setup You need some access to the server. Create a repository in some remote place to host your project, like Github, Gitlab, or your favorite private repo. Clone the repository in the server in a place that the n8n has access. In the example, it's the ., and the repository name is repo. Change it in the commands and in the workflow commands (you can set it as a variable in the wokflow). Checkout to another branch if you won't use the master one. cd . git clone repository Or you could git init and then add the remote (git remote add origin YOUR_REPO_URL), whatever pleases you more. As the server, check if everything is ok for beeing able to commit. Very likely you'll need to setup the user email and name. Try to create a commit, and push it to upstream, and everything you need (like config a user to comit) will appear in way. I strong suggest testing with exporting the commands to garantee it will work too. cd ./repo git commit -c "Initial commmit" --allow-empty -u is the same as --set-upstream git push -u origin master Testing to push to upstream with the first exported data npx n8n export:workflow --backup --output ./repo/workflows/ npx n8n export:credentials --backup --output repo/credentials/ cd ./repo git add . git commit -c "manual backup: first export" git push After that, if everything is ok, the workflow should work just fine. Adjustments Adjust the path in used in the workflow. See the the git -C PATH command is the same as cd PATH; git .... Also, adjust the cron to run as you need. As I said in the beginning, you can run it even for every minute, but it will create commits only when there are changes. Credentials encryption The default for exporting the credentials is to do them encrypted. You can add the flag --decrypted to the n8n export:credentials command if you need to save them in plain. But as general rule, it's better to save the encryption key, that you only need to do that once, and them export it safely encrypted.

Host your own Uptime Monitoring with Scheduled Triggers

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to build a simple uptime monitoring service using scheduled triggers. Useful for webmasters with a handful of sites who want a cost-effective solution without the need for all the bells and whistles. How it works Scheduled trigger reads a list of website urls in a Google Sheet every 5 minutes Each website url is checked using the HTTP node which determines if the website is either in the UP or DOWN state. An email and Slack message are sent for websites which are in the DOWN state. The Google Sheet is updated with the website's state and a log created. Logs can be used to determine total % of UP and DOWN time over a period. Requirements Google Sheet for storing websites to monitor and their states Gmail for email alerts Slack for channel alerts Customising the workflow Don't use Google Sheets? This can easily be exchanged with Excel or Airtable.

Backup n8n workflows to Google Drive

Temporary solution using the undocumented REST API for backups using Google drive. Please note that there are issues with this workflow. It does not support versioning, so please know that it will create multiple copies of the workflows so if you run this daily it will make the folder grow quickly. Once I figure out how to version in Gdrive I'll update it here.

Advanced Telegram Bot, Ticketing System, LiveChat, User Management, Broadcasting

A robust n8n workflow designed to enhance Telegram bot functionality for user management and broadcasting. It facilitates automatic support ticket creation, efficient user data storage in Redis, and a sophisticated system for message forwarding and broadcasting. How It Works Telegram Bot Setup: Initiate the workflow with a Telegram bot configured for handling different chat types (private, supergroup, channel). User Data Management: Formats and updates user data, storing it in a Redis database for efficient retrieval and management. Support Ticket Creation: Automatically generates chat tickets for user messages and saves the corresponding topic IDs in Redis. Message Forwarding: Forwards new messages to the appropriate chat thread, or creates a new thread if none exists. Support Forum Management: Handles messages within a support forum, differentiating between various chat types and user statuses. Broadcasting System: Implements a broadcasting mechanism that sends channel posts to all previous bot users, with a system to filter out blocked users. Blocked User Management: Identifies and manages blocked users, preventing them from receiving broadcasted messages. Versatile Channel Handling: Ensures that messages from verified channels are properly managed and broadcasted to relevant users. Set Up Steps Estimated Time**: Around 30 minutes. Requirements**: A Telegram bot, a Redis database, and Telegram group/channel IDs are necessary. Configuration**: Input the Telegram bot token and relevant group/channel IDs. Configure message handling and user data processing according to your needs. Detailed Instructions**: Sticky notes within the workflow provide extensive setup information and guidance.

Backup workflows to GitHub

Note: This workflow uses the internal API which is not official. This workflow might break in the future. The workflow executes every night at 23:59. You can configure a different time bin the Cron node. Configure the GitHub nodes with your username, repo name, and the file path. In the HTTP Request nodes (making a request to localhost:5678), create Basic Auth credentials with your n8n instance username and password.
