Watchdog: Auto-Update All n8n Workflows with Default Error Handler
Scans all n8n workflows every 4 hours to enforce a default error workflow, skipping tagged exclusions to prevent loops and ensure robust error handling.
This Watchdog workflow is a vital maintenance tool for n8n users managing multiple workflows. It automatically scans your entire n8n instance every 4 hours, identifying workflows without a default error workflow and updating them via direct PostgreSQL access to the n8n database. By specifying your preferred default error workflow ID in the 'Set Vars' node, it standardizes error handling across all active workflows, reducing downtime and manual oversight.
