Pulse for n8n
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep up-to-date about the health of your n8n instance and all of your workflows with Pulse for n8n. Get immediate notifications if your instance goes down or when you have workflow failures. Log in by supplying your n8n instance’s URL and your API key to get started. The server will start monitoring your instance’s health and polling for failed executions. Notifications: You’ll receive two kinds of notifications. 1. Instance Health: You’ll be notified if your n8n instance goes offline. 2. Execution Failures: You’ll be notified if your workflows fail. (Repeated failures are rolled up into one notification.) Tapping a workflow failure badge will provide more information about the latest error for you to debug. Security: Your n8n API key will be stored securely on the server and on your device. Your API key is used to make read-only queries to your n8n instance. You can delete this at any time by visiting the in-app settings. Note: To have API access on a hosted n8n instance, you’ll need to have at least the ‘Starter’ plan. With a self-hosted Community Edition of n8n, you can have API access without a paid plan. Disclaimer: This is a personal project that I would like to share with the n8n community. It is not in any way affiliated with n8n.
