i wanted to take a look into n8n with some simple workflows, but when i tried to create a workflow for checking if a website is up or not, the workflow just crashes instead of notifying the ai if the website is running or not.
Basically what i need is an option to tell the http node what to do on failure wich i cant find
Hey @Trauben you can enable continue on fail option in the HTTP Request node.

Hi @Trauben , welcome to the n8n community! I’d check the Options section in your HTTP Request node. Scroll down past the URL field, click “Add Option”, and you should see “Ignore SSL Issues” in the dropdown menu there. If you’re not seeing it at all, what version of n8n are you running? It might be in a different spot in older versions.
I do not think this did anything, I am a bit confused since its not a SSL issue right? When the website its a TCP error right?
i found a workaround: When using a Node and making it a Sub-Workflow and enabling On Errror → continue, this works, if there is a better solution wich i can try, let me know
Hi @Trauben this workaround is the solution, but i would recommend if your website you are trying to see that is live or not is static and you would not be changing the address please consider not giving it as a tool to the AI Agent, add an HTTP node after chat input and so in the AI prompt give the HTTP node’s data so that the AI knows what is going on, and this would help you reduce token cost in the long run and this is an effective method, hope this helps.
