No-Code IT Monitoring Dashboard Automation

You don't need a dedicated SRE team to monitor services. In this guide, you'll build a working IT monitoring dashboard using Make.com and Airtable.

What you'll build

A no-code scenario that polls a service, logs incidents, and notifies your team.

Prerequisites

• A Make.com account
• An Airtable base with a table called Incidents

Step 1: Prepare your Airtable base

Create the following fields in your Incidents table:

• Timestamp (Date)
• Service (Single line text)
• Status (Single line text)
• Message (Long text)

Step 2: Set up the trigger

Create a new Make.com scenario. Add a HTTP > Make a request module to poll your endpoint, or use a Webhooks > Custom webhook module to receive push events.

Step 3: Log incidents to Airtable

Add an Airtable > Create a Record module to write incident data into your base.

Map the fields as follows:

• Timestamp → now
• Service → the service identifier from the trigger
• Status → the status payload
• Message → the error or body text

Each time the scenario runs, the Airtable > Create a Record module persists a new row in your Incidents table.

Step 4: Filter for critical events

Add a filter between the trigger and Airtable to only pass records when Status equals down or error.

Step 5: Notify the team

Add a Slack > Send a message or Email > Send an email module after the Airtable module to alert your team when an incident is logged.

Wrapping up

You now have a fully functional no-code IT monitoring pipeline. You can extend it with conditional branching, uptime dashboards, or paging logic.
