Looking for a Healthchecks.io alternative for no-code automations? Healthchecks.io is a well-known cron job monitor: your job pings a URL, and you get an alert when the ping doesn't arrive on time. If what you need to watch is an n8n workflow, Make scenario or Zap rather than a server cron job, Agent Monitor from Radar My Business uses the same ping idea with setup steps written for those three tools.

Be honest with yourself: if you mainly watch server cron jobs, need alerts in Slack, SMS or phone calls, or need minute-level missed-run alerts, Healthchecks.io covers that and Agent Monitor doesn't.
POST, URL = your success ping. In the error workflow, another HTTP Request node POST to your failure ping.POST. On the error handler, call your failure ping.Ping URLs look like https://radarmybusiness.com/api/agent-monitor/ping/<your-token> and .../ping/<your-token>/fail.
For n8n, Make and Zapier workflows, yes. It uses success and failure ping URLs, an expected interval and a grace period, with setup steps for each of those tools. For server cron jobs or non-email alert channels, Healthchecks.io covers more.
Failure pings alert right away. Missed runs are checked once a day at 14:10 UTC (7:10 AM Pacific).
Not right now. Email is the only alert channel: one email when something goes wrong and one when it recovers.
No. Setup uses n8n's HTTP Request node, Make's HTTP module or Webhooks by Zapier with your ping links.
