Purge n8n MySQL Execution History Older Than 30 Days
Automates daily cleanup of n8n execution history from MySQL, deleting entries older than 30 days to prevent database bloat from frequent workflows.
This n8n workflow efficiently purges old execution history from the MySQL database table 'execution_entity', targeting records where the 'stoppedAt' date is older than 30 days. It uses a simple SQL DELETE query executed via the MySQL node, triggered either manually or automatically via a cron schedule set to run daily at 7 AM. This is ideal for n8n instances with high-volume workflows that generate numerous execution logs daily—for instance, tasks running every minute can produce over 1,000 rows
