UptimeRobot Alerts to Telegram with Visual Verification

This n8n workflow automates the process of receiving UptimeRobot alerts, enriching them with a screenshot of the affected URL, and sending them to a Telegram chat. This provides a quick visual verification of the issue alongside the standard alert information.

What it does

  1. Triggers on UptimeRobot Alerts (via Email): The workflow is activated when a new email is received in a designated Gmail inbox, specifically looking for UptimeRobot alert emails.
  2. Extracts Alert Details: It parses the incoming email to extract crucial information such as the monitor URL, monitor name, and alert type (e.g., "Down", "Up").
  3. Generates a Screenshot: For "Down" alerts, it uses the extracted URL to take a screenshot of the affected website.
  4. Composes Telegram Message: It constructs a comprehensive message for Telegram, including the monitor name, alert type, and a link to the monitor on UptimeRobot.
  5. Sends Alert to Telegram: The composed message, along with the generated screenshot (for "Down" alerts), is sent to a specified Telegram chat.
  6. Acknowledges UptimeRobot Alert (Optional): After sending the Telegram alert, it can optionally acknowledge the alert in UptimeRobot.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Gmail Account: A Gmail account configured as a credential in n8n to receive UptimeRobot alert emails.
  • Telegram Bot: A Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID configured as a credential in n8n.
  • UptimeRobot Account: An UptimeRobot account with monitors configured to send email alerts to the Gmail address monitored by this workflow.
  • Screenshot API: An API key for a screenshot service (e.g., screenshotone.com, apiflash.com, urlbox.io) configured as a credential for the HTTP Request node.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Gmail Trigger:
    • Select your Gmail credential.
    • Specify the folder where UptimeRobot alerts are received (e.g., "Inbox").
    • Add a filter to only process emails from UptimeRobot (e.g., "from:alerts@uptimerobot.com").
  3. Configure Telegram Node:
    • Select your Telegram Bot credential.
    • Enter the Chat ID where you want to receive the alerts.
  4. Configure HTTP Request (Screenshot) Node:
    • This node is set up to use a generic screenshot API. You will need to replace the URL and parameters with those of your chosen screenshot service.
    • Ensure your API key is correctly configured, either directly in the URL or as a header/query parameter as required by your service.
    • Example for screenshotone.com:
      • URL: https://api.screenshotone.com/take
      • Query Parameters: access_key (your API key), url (set to {{ $('Code').item.json.monitorUrl }}), full_page (true), viewport_width (1920), viewport_height (1080)
  5. Configure UptimeRobot Node (Optional):
    • If you wish to acknowledge alerts in UptimeRobot, configure this node with your UptimeRobot API key.
    • Set the Operation to Acknowledge Alert.
    • Map the Alert ID from the incoming UptimeRobot email data.
  6. Activate the workflow: Once all credentials and configurations are set, activate the workflow.

Now, whenever UptimeRobot sends an email alert, this workflow will process it, take a screenshot (for "Down" alerts), and send a detailed message with the screenshot to your Telegram chat.

AI-powered code review with linting, red-marked corrections in Google Sheets & Slack

Advanced Code Review Automation (AI + Lint + Slack) Who’s it for For software engineers, QA teams, and tech leads who want to automate intelligent code reviews with both AI-driven suggestions and rule-based linting — all managed in Google Sheets with instant Slack summaries. How it works This workflow performs a two-layer review system: Lint Check: Runs a lightweight static analysis to find common issues (e.g., use of var, console.log, unbalanced braces). AI Review: Sends valid code to Gemini AI, which provides human-like review feedback with severity classification (Critical, Major, Minor) and visual highlights (red/orange tags). Formatter: Combines lint and AI results, calculating an overall score (0–10). Aggregator: Summarizes results for quick comparison. Google Sheets Writer: Appends results to your review log. Slack Notification: Posts a concise summary (e.g., number of issues and average score) to your team’s channel. How to set up Connect Google Sheets and Slack credentials in n8n. Replace placeholders (<YOURSPREADSHEETID>, <YOURSHEETGIDORNAME>, <YOURSLACKCHANNEL_ID>). Adjust the AI review prompt or lint rules as needed. Activate the workflow — reviews will start automatically whenever new code is added to the sheet. Requirements Google Sheets and Slack integrations enabled A configured AI node (Gemini, OpenAI, or compatible) Proper permissions to write to your target Google Sheet How to customize Add more linting rules (naming conventions, spacing, forbidden APIs) Extend the AI prompt for project-specific guidelines Customize the Slack message formatting Export analytics to a dashboard (e.g., Notion or Data Studio) Why it’s valuable This workflow brings realistic, team-oriented AI-assisted code review to n8n — combining the speed of automated linting with the nuance of human-style feedback. It saves time, improves code quality, and keeps your team’s review history transparent and centralized.

Auto-reply & create Linear tickets from Gmail with GPT-5, gotoHuman & human review

This workflow automatically classifies every new email from your linked mailbox, drafts a personalized reply, and creates Linear tickets for bugs or feature requests. It uses a human-in-the-loop with gotoHuman and continuously improves itself by learning from approved examples. How it works The workflow triggers on every new email from your linked mailbox. Self-learning Email Classifier: an AI model categorizes the email into defined categories (e.g., Bug Report, Feature Request, Sales Opportunity, etc.). It fetches previously approved classification examples from gotoHuman to refine decisions. Self-learning Email Writer: the AI drafts a reply to the email. It learns over time by using previously approved replies from gotoHuman, with per-classification context to tailor tone and style (e.g., different style for sales vs. bug reports). Human Review in gotoHuman: review the classification and the drafted reply. Drafts can be edited or retried. Approved values are used to train the self-learning agents. Send approved Reply: the approved response is sent as a reply to the email thread. Create ticket: if the classification is Bug or Feature Request, a ticket is created by another AI agent in Linear. Human Review in gotoHuman: How to set up Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing) Set up credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, your email provider (e.g. Gmail), and Linear. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Support email agent" or import the ID: 6fzuCJlFYJtlu9mGYcVT. Select this template in the gotoHuman node. In the "gotoHuman: Fetch approved examples" http nodes you need to add your formId. It is the ID of the review template that you just created/imported in gotoHuman. Requirements gotoHuman (human supervision, memory for self-learning) OpenAI (classification, drafting) Gmail or your preferred email provider (for email trigger+replies) Linear (ticketing) How to customize Expand or refine the categories used by the classifier. Update the prompt to reflect your own taxonomy. Filter fetched training data from gotoHuman by reviewer so the writer adapts to their personalized tone and preferences. Add more context to the AI email writer (calendar events, FAQs, product docs) to improve reply quality.
