Freshping Make integrationAutomate Freshping with Make.
What should happen the moment one of your monitored sites goes down? The Freshping Make integration gives you a single instant trigger, Watch Site Down, that starts an automation as soon as Freshping spots an outage. This guide shows ops and dev teams how to link the account and build a first alert flow.

What can the Freshping Make integration do for you?
The Freshping Make integration links your uptime monitoring to the rest of your tools. Make runs a scenario, which is the automation you build as a chain of modules, and here the first brick is Freshping telling Make that a tracked site has stopped responding. Everything after that step is up to you.
Route outage alerts where people actually look. Put Watch Site Down first, then add a module from your chat or messaging app so the on-call person reads the alert in the channel they already keep open.
Keep a written trail of every incident. Send each outage bundle, meaning the single item Make passes from one module to the next, into a spreadsheet or a ticketing tool. Your post-incident review then starts from a list instead of memory.
Open a task for whoever owns the site. An agency watching client sites can turn each alert into a card in its project tool, so nobody has to copy details by hand.
Know the limits before you plan. Freshping offers one module in Make and it is a trigger: Make can hear about a site going down, but it cannot add monitors, pause checks or read reports in Freshping. The app also has no universal API call module. The Make documentation for this app is marked as AI-generated from the Freshping docs, so double-check anything critical with the vendor. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make training helps if this is your first scenario. For budget questions, see Make pricing.
How do you connect Freshping to Make?
- 01
Get your Freshping API key ready
You need an active Freshping account and an API key from it before starting. With both in hand, open your scenario in Make, add the Watch Site Down module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Freshping account linked to Make once.
- 02
Name the connection
Naming is optional, but a clear label pays off when several people or several Freshping accounts share the same Make organization. Something like the team or the client name makes the right account easy to pick later.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Paste the API key Freshping gave you into the connection window, then click Save. Make checks the key and, if it works, the connection appears in the module and can be reused by any future Freshping module.
Your first scenario: turn a downtime alert into a team message
GoalWhen Freshping detects that a tracked site is down, Make passes the alert to a module of another app so your team hears about it.
- 01
Create the scenario
Go to the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module on the canvas.
- 02
Add Watch Site Down
Search for Freshping, pick Watch Site Down and click Create a connection to link your account with the API key, or select the connection you already made.
- 03
Add the module that alerts people
Click the + on the right of the trigger, choose the app your team reads, such as a chat tool, and map the data Freshping sent into the message.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then wait for a real downtime event. Open each module afterwards to read the bundle it received and check that the message looks right.
- 05
Switch it on
When the test looks right, switch the scenario on. From then on, every down event Freshping reports starts the flow without anyone opening Make.
The Freshping trigger in Make
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Freshping. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Freshping as soon as it happens.
Watch Site Down
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a tracked site is down.”
This trigger gives you a scenario that wakes up only when a site you track in Freshping goes down, so the rest of your flow reacts to real outages and stays idle the rest of the time. It is the only Freshping module in Make, which makes it the entry point for every automation with this app.
