Workflow Monitoring (Recommended) → Report a Failed Run

AI-generated

Summary

Report a failed workflow run to Watchflow by sending its workflow ID as the monitor key, plus the error message and optional workflow name, execution ID, and execution URL. Connect the node to an Error Trigger so its default expressions can read the failed workflow’s details.

Inputs

  • Workflow ID (required) — Workflow ID from the Error Trigger; used as the Watchflow monitor key.
  • Workflow Name — Workflow name from the Error Trigger; sent as the monitor label when non-empty.
  • Error Message — Error message from the Error Trigger; sent when non-empty.
  • Execution ID — Failed execution ID from the Error Trigger; leave empty to omit it.
  • Execution URL — Failed execution URL from the Error Trigger; sent only if it is an absolute HTTP or HTTPS URL. Requires n8n’s N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL for the default expression to provide a URL.

Output shape

A list of items from the Watchflow API response, with each item paired to its corresponding input item.

Makes an authenticated POST request to Watchflow’s /ping/fail endpoint. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed request produces an item containing an error message; otherwise the node raises an API error.
