A workflow that only works in fair weather is not automation — it is a time bomb. In the first episode of the n8n error-handling series I cover the fundamentals of handling failures properly.

What you will learn

  • What exactly happens in n8n when a node fails.
  • The error-reaction modes every node has and how they differ.
  • How to design error handling up front instead of bolting it on after the first outage.
  • Where to start cleaning up error handling in existing workflows.

The series continues in Error handling in n8n #2, where I go deeper into HTTP request failures and dedicated error workflows.

Watch the episode

The video is available on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=nxRNdK1AZVQ.

All episodes are collected on the Automation Academy page (in Polish). Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you do not miss new material.

The video is in Polish; this post summarizes what it covers.
