An n8n cron-based workflow that pings your API healthcheck endpoint every 15 minutes and evaluates the HTTP response status code. Failed checks trigger an immediate Slack failure alert, while successful responses post a recovery notice. Every check — pass or fail — is appended to a Google Sheets uptime log for SLA monitoring and incident trend analysis.
