This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring and retrying failed workflow executions on an hourly basis. It is designed to log into the n8n API, identify executions that failed, and automatically trigger retries for those specific cases, ensuring continuous workflow operation without manual intervention.
The workflow begins with a schedule trigger set to run every hour. It then uses an HTTP request node to log into n8n with pre-configured credentials. Once authenticated, it fetches all error-related workflow executions. The workflow includes filtering logic to exclude already retried executions based on specific success identifiers.
Subsequently, it loops over the filtered list of failed executions and performs a retry by sending POST requests to the n8n API’s retry endpoint. Additionally, a manual trigger node allows users to test the entire process interactively. Sticky notes embedded within the workflow provide guidance on setup and usage. This setup ensures that any temporary workflow failures caused by transient issues are automatically retried, improving reliability and uptime.
Practical use cases include maintaining workflow resilience in automation pipelines, reducing manual error recovery efforts, and ensuring timely processing of data or tasks that are critical to business operations.
