n-eight-n Workflows is open-source, and you can report a bug or request a new feature at: https://github.com/mgarciate/n8n-workflows-ios/issues This iPhone app is designed to activate and deactivate workflows in the n8n service. It works seamlessly with both self-hosted and cloud instances of n8n. Setting it up is simple: just enter the domain or IP address of your instance, along with the API key that can be obtained from the n8n configuration panel. In addition to managing workflows, you can also view the most recent executions for any specific workflow. The most exciting feature? The app integrates with the iPhone's Shortcuts app. This means you can trigger workflows without even opening the app, making it easier to activate or deactivate workflows with just a voice command or automation. You can further automate workflows by combining them with your iPhone’s built-in automations, such as activating a workflow based on your location, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, or when opening and closing specific apps. This flexibility allows you to streamline and automate your workflows with ease, boosting your productivity and efficiency.

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.
