Prevent Overlapping Workflow Executions with Redis in n8n
Ensure that scheduled workflows in n8n do not overlap by using Redis to monitor and control execution status.
This workflow acts as a monitoring system to prevent simultaneous executions of a main workflow in n8n. By storing a status flag in Redis, it checks whether the main workflow is currently running or idle. If the workflow is idle, it triggers the main workflow; otherwise, it prevents a new execution. This setup helps manage workflows that take longer than expected, ensuring they do not overlap and cause issues.
