Execution → Stop Execution

AI-generated

Summary

Stops a single n8n execution by ID through the n8n public API (POST /executions/{id}/stop) and returns a confirmation object.

Inputs

  • executionId (required) — The execution to stop. Pick from a dropdown of recent executions (labelled with ID, status, workflow name and start time; loaded from the most recent pages and cached about 30 seconds), or supply an ID via expression. An empty value throws 'Enter an execution ID.'

Output shape

One output item per input item, with json of the form { executionId, stopped: true }.

The stopped flag is hardcoded to true after the API call succeeds. It does not read the API response or verify the execution's final status. API failures (after up to 3 attempts with backoff on 408/425/429/5xx) throw an error, or become an item with an 'error' field if Continue On Fail is enabled. Requires the n8nApi credential.

Examples

Example 1: Stop a specific runaway execution whose ID was captured earlier in the workflow.

Resource: Execution; Operation: Stop Execution; Execution ID: ={{ $json.executionId }}

Example 2: Manually pick a recent running execution to stop.

Resource: Execution; Operation: Stop Execution; choose the execution from the dropdown list
