Report API Status To Slack
Perform daily health checks on your API endpoints and send a clear summary report with success and failure metrics directly to a Slack channel.
Slack API Monitor Workflow
This workflow performs a daily health check on a list of API endpoints and sends a summary report directly to a Slack channel. It helps you keep track of which APIs are responding successfully and which ones might be failing.
It performs the following actions:
- Triggers every day at a scheduled time.
- Defines a set of API endpoints to check.
- Calls each API endpoint and evaluates the response status using an AI agent.
- Sends a summarized health report to a Slack channel.
What You Need
- A Needle account to build and run the workflow.
- Access to Slack with permission to send messages to a channel.
- A Slack connector set up in Needle with proper authentication.
How The Flow Works
| Step | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Runs automatically every day to start the health check. |
| 2 | Code Node | Returns a list of APIs to check, including each endpoint's name and URL. |
| 3 | AI Health Checker | Makes GET requests to each listed endpoint, tracks successes and failures, and crafts a summary report. |
| 4 | Slack Connector | Sends the AI-generated summary report as a message to your target Slack channel. |
Output
At the end of the workflow run, you receive a neatly formatted message in your chosen Slack channel. The message shows the count of successful and failed API endpoints and lists their names along with status codes or error messages, giving you clear visibility into the daily API health.
Notes
- You can customize the list of APIs in the code node to monitor the endpoints relevant to your use case.
- Ensure your Slack connector has permission to post in the target channel.
- Adjust the scheduled time in the trigger node as needed for your timezone or preferred check time.
