Why n8n users monitor with NorthDuty
Teams that self-host n8n like owning their automation: no per-task pricing, full control over data, workflows in version control. NorthDuty fits the same philosophy from the monitoring side — it runs your checkout, signup, login and form journeys in a real browser and checks uptime, SSL and site health from the outside, with nothing installed on the sites, then hands automation-ready data to whatever you run.
With the verified integration, an alert lands as regular workflow data: filter on severity or alert type in the trigger itself, or branch later with IF and Switch nodes, and from there any of n8n's nodes take over — tickets, databases, chat, SMS, or an HTTP request to your own systems. Each alert carries the title, rule type and label, severity, project id, name and base URL, threshold and observed value with unit and comparator, a dashboard link, and a readable message.
