Scheduler → Live State Synchronization
AI-generatedSummary
Reads a live snapshot of how many executions are currently running and waiting for each selected n8n workflow. Read-only: it queries the n8n API and changes nothing.
Inputs
- Workflow Selection — How to choose target workflows: From Searchable List (default), Multiple From List, Current Workflow, or By URL or ID.
- Workflow Name or ID (required) — Single workflow to inspect. Shown when selection mode is 'list'.
- Workflow Names or IDs — Multiple workflows to inspect. Shown when selection mode is 'multiple'.
- Workflow URL or IDs — Workflow URLs, IDs, or comma-separated IDs. URLs are parsed to extract the workflow ID. Shown when selection mode is 'manual'.
Output shape
One item per input item, with a statusByWorkflow array. Each entry has workflowId, runningCount, waitingCount, and synchronizedAt (ISO timestamp).
The node throws an error if no workflow is selected. The 'current' mode requires the workflow to be saved first. Counts come from at most 5 pages of 100 executions per status, so they are capped at about 500 each. Requires n8n API credentials. API failures raise an error unless Continue On Fail is set, in which case an error item is returned.
Examples
Example 1: Check whether a workflow is busy before deploying changes
Workflow Selection: From Searchable List; choose the workflow. Read runningCount and waitingCount in an IF node.
Example 2: Dashboard of activity across several workflows
Workflow Selection: Multiple From List; pick workflows. Output lists counts per workflow.
Example 3: Self-check from within a workflow
Workflow Selection: Current Workflow (workflow must be saved).
