Updown.io Overview#

The Updown.io API allows you to interact programmatically with your website monitoring service. With this API, you can automate uptime checks, retrieve the status of your websites, manage checks, receive downtime alerts, and gather performance metrics. Integrating the Updown.io API with Pipedream enables you to create automated workflows that can respond to events, monitor services continuously, and connect with other apps to trigger actions based on the health and performance of your websites.

import events from "../common/events.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Updown.io	`updown`	`app`	This component uses the Updown.io app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "value": "check.down", "label": "When a check goes down (after confirmation)" }{ "value": "check.up", "label": "When a check is back up (recovery following a check.down event)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_invalid", "label": "When the SSL certificate is considered invalid" }{ "value": "check.ssl_valid", "label": "When the SSL certificate is valid again (recovery after a check.ssl_invalid event)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_expiration", "label": "When your SSL certificate approaches expiration date (1, 7, 14, and 30 days before for 1y certs)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_renewed", "label": "When the SSL certificate was renewed close to expiration (recovery for check.ssl_expiration)" }{ "value": "check.performance_drop", "label": "When the Apex drops more than 30% below the lowest of the last 5 hours" }`

Trigger Authentication#

Updown.io uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Updown.io account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Updown.io APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API keys,

Navigate to your Updown.io account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “API”

About Updown.io#

updown.io is a HTTP(S)/TCP/ICMP monitoring service which checks periodically the URL you want and reports back any anomaly, be it downtime, bad response, degraded performance or even broken SSL certificate.

Mailersend Overview#

The MailerSend API integrates with Pipedream to create powerful email automation workflows, enabling you to send transactional emails, create and manage templates, and track email activities like opens or clicks. With these capabilities, you can automate routine communications, personalize mass mailings based on user actions or data, and gain insights into your email campaign performances, all within the context of a serverless Pipedream workflow.
