Postgres + Twilio: SMS alerts for critical outliers
Postgres outliers trigger Twilio SMS alerts and then get marked as notified. Cut missed issues…
Turn noisy security signals into clear, routed alerts. These n8n workflows enrich events, de-duplicate notifications, and notify the right person in Slack, email, or Telegram fast.
You connect your alert sources (like email, webhooks, or forms) to n8n, then define steps that clean and route each event. A workflow can parse the message, enrich it with context, and remove duplicates so the team doesn’t get spammed. Next, it decides where to send it—Slack, Gmail, Telegram—and who should be pinged based on severity. Many teams also log every incident to Google Sheets for reporting and accountability.
Not really. If you can map “when X happens, do Y,” you can use most templates and tweak a few fields.
A lot of the time sink is repetitive triage: reading alerts, copying details into a tracker, and nudging the right person. Automation handles that busywork in minutes, all day. For small teams, that often frees about 2 hours daily, especially when alerts spike. The bigger win is fewer missed incidents. You get consistent routing, faster acknowledgements, and a clear trail of what happened and when.
You’ll need an n8n workspace and access to the channels you want to notify (Slack, Gmail, or Telegram). Most workflows also expect an input method: a webhook URL, a mailbox, or an n8n Form. If you want tracking, connect Google Sheets and choose a simple incident schema (timestamp, source, severity, owner, status). Start with one alert type first, then add sources once the routing feels reliable. Frankly, keeping the first version simple makes adoption easier.
