you set the interval to `1m`, which means the check is running once per minute. That might explain the delay of up to one minute.
Hope that makes sense.

But what if I need the mail at the same time when my portal is down .
And after that for every 1min interval i want to schedule .

then you may need to decrease the interval and have an additional check in your condition if the alert has already been triggered before by querying the watch history (this is somewhat tedious, but can be made working).
