Frequently Asked Questions
How does the workflow detect errors?
The workflow uses n8n's built-in error trigger, which fires automatically when any workflow fails. It captures the error message, workflow name, execution ID, and timestamp—giving you full context to debug quickly.
Can I monitor only specific workflows?
Yes. You can configure the monitor to track all workflows or filter by workflow name, tag, or folder. This lets you set different alert rules for critical vs. non-critical automations.
What information is included in error alerts?
Alerts include the workflow name, error message, node that failed, execution timestamp, and a direct link to the failed execution in n8n. You can customize the alert format to include additional context like affected records or customer data.
Does this help with debugging or just alerting?
Both. The instant alerts ensure you know about failures immediately. The error logging to Google Sheets helps you identify patterns—like recurring API timeouts or authentication issues—so you can fix root causes, not just symptoms.
Can I set up escalation for critical failures?
Yes. You can configure escalation rules based on workflow importance, error frequency, or time of day. Critical workflow failures can page on-call staff, while non-critical errors go to a Slack channel for review during business hours.
