Free automation health check

Point OutcomeGuard at an n8n instance. It reads your workflows and recent executions over the public REST API, judges each workflow against its own history, and shows you what it found.

Read-only. The API key is used for this one scan and then discarded — it is only stored if you choose to connect the instance afterwards.

Three steps

  1. Create an n8n API key

    In n8n: Settings → n8n API → Create an API key.

  2. Paste the URL and the key

    The base URL is whatever you open n8n at, for example https://n8n.example.com.

  3. Read the findings

    Failures, silent failures, missed runs, empty output, drift — with the evidence behind each one.

What this scan reads

  • Workflow definitions: names, whether they are active, their trigger schedules, node names and a definition hash.
  • Execution summaries: status, start and stop times, duration, item counts, the last node executed and error text with secrets redacted.
  • Nothing else. Execution payloads are not downloaded, and the report is deleted after 7 days.
Scan an n8n instance

The base URL you open n8n at. HTTPS, reachable from the internet.

Used for this scan only. Never logged, never stored unless you connect the instance.

Cron and interval triggers are judged in this timezone.

How do I create an n8n API key?
  1. Open n8n and go to Settings.
  2. Open the n8n API section.
  3. Choose Create an API key.
  4. Copy the key and paste it here.

If you are only running a scan, delete the key in n8n afterwards. OutcomeGuard does not need it again unless you connect the instance.
