Summary

Finds executions of selected workflow(s) (default status: error) via the n8n API and retries up to a set number of them, returning a per-execution result list.

Inputs

  • Workflow Selection — How to choose workflows: searchable list (default), multiple from list, current workflow, or by URL/ID (comma-separated allowed).
  • Workflow Name or ID (required) — Single workflow when selection mode is list.
  • Workflow Names or IDs — Multiple workflows when mode is 'multiple'.
  • Workflow URL or IDs — URL(s) or ID(s) when mode is 'manual'.
  • Retry Mode — 'With Currently Saved Workflow' (default) or 'With Original Workflow' (sends loadWorkflow=true to the retry endpoint).
  • Execution Status — Status filter; blank (Any) falls back to 'error'. Other values: running, success, waiting.
  • Include Execution Data — Whether to fetch full execution data when listing (default false).
  • Max Retries — Maximum number of listed executions to retry (1–100, default 10).
  • Max Pages — Maximum pages of executions fetched (1–50, default 5; 100 per page).

Output shape

One item with { retried: number, results: [...] }. Each result is { executionId, retryMode, response } on success, or { executionId, success: false, error } on failure.

Filtering by workflow ID is applied to the API query only when exactly one workflow is selected. With multiple workflows, no workflowId filter is sent, so executions from all workflows are listed (only status is filtered). Executions are retried sequentially; a failed retry is recorded and doesn't stop the loop. 'retried' counts attempted executions, including failures. Requires n8n API credentials.

Examples

Example 1: Retry the latest failed runs of one workflow after an outage.

Workflow Selection: From Searchable List; pick workflow; Execution Status: Error; Max Retries: 10; Retry Mode: With Currently Saved Workflow.

Example 2: Self-healing: retry failures of the workflow this node lives in using their original definition.

Workflow Selection: Current Workflow; Retry Mode: With Original Workflow; Max Retries: 5.
