Schedule Cron Jobs and Monitor Automation Workflows
Never let a critical job or automation fail silently again
Schedule, monitor, and get alerts for cron jobs, workflows, and background tasks — all in one place.
Run everything that powers your business behind the scenes — and know when something doesn’t go as planned.
No credit card • 2-minute setup • Cancel anytime
Used with systems built on:
Your business runs on things you never see.
Invoices go out.
Leads get synced.
Webhooks fire.
Backups run.
Automations move data.
All of it happens in the background.
And when one of them breaks…
you usually find out from a customer, missing data — or too late.
⸻
We make the invisible visible.
Run, schedule, and monitor everything that powers your business —
and get alerted the moment something doesn’t happen.
NodeTrigger gives you one place to track every job, webhook, and workflow your business depends on.
Three ways NodeTrigger prevents silent failures
NodeTrigger makes sure everything that runs your business actually runs — and tells you the moment it doesn’t.
Schedule jobs and track automations in one reliability layer.
Run HTTP jobs on any schedule with built-in tracking and alerts when something fails.
Know when your Make, n8n, or Zapier workflows stop running by tracking every execution.
Visually check your monitors and get notified the moment they go down or return errors.
Schedule Cron Jobs
Run HTTP jobs on any schedule — without servers or crontab files.
Use us as a modern cron engine:
• Every 5 minutes
• Hourly
• Daily
• Or with full cron syntax
We call your endpoint, run your job, and track the result. If it fails or doesn’t run, you know.
Perfect for:
• Backups
• Syncs
• Cleanup jobs
• Reports
• Anything triggered by time
Automation Workflow Monitoring
Your automations should not be a black box.
Make, n8n, Zapier and custom scripts can send us a simple HTTP call (Heartbeat Monitoring) when they run.
We expect those signals.
If they stop arriving:
• the automation failed
• or never ran
Either way — you’ll know.
Perfect for:
• Data syncs
• Lead routing
• Integrations
• No-code workflows
Public Status Pages
Let your team — and your customers — see what’s working in real time
When something breaks, the worst part isn’t the failure.
It’s the confusion that follows.
“Is it down?”
“Is it fixed?”
“Is it just me?”
NodeTrigger’s Status Pages turn invisible jobs and workflows into something everyone can trust, with multiple customizable pages that show exactly the monitors and cron jobs each team or client needs to see.
Set Up in Seconds
Add NodeTrigger directly into your Make, Zapier or n8n scenarios to monitor critical paths and prevent silent failures.
When a scenario stops executing, you’ll know immediately.
STEP 01
Tell us what should run
A cron job or workflow you depend on.
This takes less than a minute.
STEP 02
We know when it’s working
When it should run.
What response is expected.
No code changes. No complex setup.
STEP 03
We watch it
If it runs — we log it.
If it fails — we alert you.
That’s it.
No dashboards to watch. No silent failures.
What Silent Failures
Actually Cost You
Missed leads that never reach your CRM
Failed onboarding emails → higher churn
Broken billing or fulfillment automations
NodeTrigger alerts you when nothing happens — which is the most dangerous failure of all.
You Control Where Monitoring Happens
NodeTrigger monitors your workflows without accessing your data, credentials, or logic.
We don’t connect to your automation platform.
We don’t read your workflow steps.
We don’t see what your automation does.
Your workflow simply makes a single HTTP request to a secure NodeTrigger URL at a point you choose — for example, at the end of a critical path.
No payload is required. No data is sent. Just a heartbeat.
If that heartbeat stops arriving within the expected timeframe, NodeTrigger knows something went wrong and triggers an alert.
⸻
You stay in full control.
Add the heartbeat exactly where it matters most in your workflow — at the end, after a key step, or on a critical branch.

Never let anything break without you knowing
For builders, founders, and teams who rely on background systems to make money.
It gives you one place to run and track everything that happens in the background — cron jobs, APIs, webhooks, and automation workflows — so you always know what ran, what failed, and what didn’t run at all.
It’s both — and more.
You can:
• Run scheduled HTTP jobs (cron)
• Check APIs and webhooks
• Confirm automations ran
All using the same system.
No.
NodeTrigger never connects to your automation platform and never accesses your data, credentials, or workflow logic.
Your workflow simply sends a lightweight HTTP request (a heartbeat) to NodeTrigger. No payload is required.
You give us a URL and a schedule.
We send an HTTP request to that URL when it’s time and record whether it succeeded or failed.
If it doesn’t run or returns an error, you get notified.
No servers.
No crontab.
Just reliable execution.
Your Make, n8n, Zapier, or custom script sends us a simple HTTP request when it runs.
We expect those requests on a schedule.
If they stop arriving, we alert you.
This catches:
• Stopped scenarios
• Broken workflows
• Silent failures
We regularly ping your endpoint and check the response.
If it:
• times out
• returns an error
• or goes down
you get alerted immediately.
No.
Alerts are intelligently throttled to prevent noise:
• A minimum delay between alerts
• A daily alert cap to protect your inbox
You get notified — without being overwhelmed.
Yes.
You can route alerts to any email address or webhook endpoint (paid plan) — not just the automation account owner.
This is especially useful for teams, agencies, or client-facing workflows.
Most users create their first workflow monitor in under two minutes.
If your workflow can send a webhook (HTTP call), you’re already compatible.
Yes.
NodeTrigger is built specifically for workflow uptime monitoring, not general logging or execution.
It does one thing — detect missing heartbeats — and does it reliably.
No.
Everything works over simple HTTP requests.
If your system can send or receive a web request, it works.
You can receive alerts via:
• Webhooks (Slack, Discord, custom systems, etc.)
You control how often and where alerts are sent.
No.
You can create:
• unlimited cron jobs
• unlimited API monitors
• unlimited automation heartbeats
We don’t charge per run, per ping, or per workflow.
Yes.
No contracts.
No lock-in.
You can cancel anytime.
Your account will switch back to the Free plan, and any monitors above the free limit will be paused — nothing is deleted.
Anyone who relies on:
• cron jobs
• APIs
• webhooks
• automations
If something running in the background matters to your business, this is for you.
