Automated Website Screenshot Capture and Email Notification

somdn_product_page

This n8n workflow automates the process of capturing both regular and full-page screenshots of a specified website, then sends an email with these screenshots embedded. The workflow is triggered manually by user execution, making it suitable for on-demand monitoring or reporting of website visuals.

Step-by-step, the workflow begins with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the process at will. It then creates an object containing the website URL and recipient email address. Two screenshot nodes generate images: one captures a standard screenshot, and the other captures a full-page screenshot, both using the Uproc API, which is integrated for image generation.

Next, the workflow retrieves the generated images as files with HTTP request nodes, then uploads these images to Dropbox for storage. After uploading, the URLs to the images are used to assemble an HTML email body, which includes thumbnails of both screenshots. Finally, the email is sent via AWS SES with the embedded images, delivering a visual report to the specified recipient.

This workflow is ideal in scenarios where website visuals need regular or ad-hoc monitoring, quality assurance, or reporting, providing an automated way to capture and share website snapshots instantly.
