That works but there are times where a machine/service dies completely or hangs mid-process for a couple of days. You can account for a lot of those cases, but having a separate system that just looks for success rather than monitoring for failure works betters in my experience.
Or if you just want notifications, ntfy is really nice and selfhostable.
