Monitor your websites and get alerted the moment one goes down

The system checks your websites every few minutes and emails and Slacks you the instant one goes offline.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each website in list.

The problem it solves

You don't find out your website is down until a customer complains or you happen to check it yourself. By then you've already lost visitors, and you have no record of how often or how long outages last.

Who it fits

A webmaster or small business with a handful of websites who wants downtime alerts without paying for a full monitoring service.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system reads your list of website addresses from a spreadsheet
  2. Each site is checked to see if it's up or down
  3. If a site is down, an email and a Slack message go out right away
  4. The spreadsheet is updated with each site's current status and a log entry
What you get

Downtime you hear about within minutes

You get an email and Slack alert the moment any of your websites goes down, day or night.

What you get

Instant down alerts plus an ongoing spreadsheet log of each website's uptime history.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and a Slack account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
