What does the Create Monitor action do in UptimeRobot?
Creates a new UptimeRobot monitor (HTTP/HTTPS, keyword, ping, port) for the given URL and interval. Auto-provision monitors when a new service is deployed.
What inputs does Create Monitor require?
Required: Monitor Name, URL, Monitor Type. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
