By leveraging the [Watchflow](https://watchflow.io) node, it automatically audits all your active workflows every day, ensuring your automation engine is running at 100% capacity.\n\n---\n\n## 💎 Why Your n8n Stack Needs This\n\nManaging a handful of workflows is easy. Managing dozens is a nightmare—unless you have a **Watchflow Global Health Monitor**.\n\n- **Eliminate \"Silent Failures\"**: Most workflows only alert you when *they* run. This monitor alerts you when they *don't* or when they fail without a trigger.\n- **Centralized Uptime Dashboard**: Get a bird's-eye view of your entire n8n health inside Watchflow.\n- **Enterprise-Grade Reliability**: Built for teams who can't afford a single minute of downtime.\n- **Instant Actionable Alerts**: Don't just know *that* it failed—know *why* it failed with direct error reporting to your Watchflow dashboard.\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ What’s Under the Hood?\n\nThis isn't just a simple fetch; it's a smart monitoring logic designed for efficiency:\n\n1.  **Automated Discovery**: Dynamically fetches all `Active` workflows (optionally filtered by tags like #daily).\n2.  **Health Audit**: Deep-dives into the latest execution of every workflow to verify its status.\n3.  **Intelligent Reporting**:\n    *   ✅ **Success?** Sends a heartbeat `Ping` to Watchflow to confirm everything is green.\n    *   ❌ **Failure?** Sends a `Fail` event with the exact error message, so you can fix it before anyone notices.\n\n---\n\n## ⚡ Quick Start (Requirements)\n\nTo deploy this monitoring powerhouse, you'll need:\n\n1.  **Watchflow Node**: Install the official node using the npm package name: `@watchflow/n8n-nodes-watchflow`.\n2.  **Watchflow API Key**: [Signup at watchflow.io](https://watchflow.io), go to **Settings**, and find your key in the **API Key** section.\n3.  **n8n API Key**: In your n8n instance, go to **Settings** -> **n8n API** to generate your key.\n4.  **Credential Tip**: When setting up your n8n API credentials, use your base URL followed by `/v1/api` (e.g., `https://n8n.yourdomain.com/v1/api`).\n\n---\n\n## 📈 The Result? Peace of Mind.\n\nDeploy this template once, and let it take the watch over your automations. Whether you're running complex lead gen, financial syncs, or infrastructure scripts, the **Watchflow Global Health Monitor** is your first line of defense against automation downtime.\n","workflow":{"id":"46X7wVmqUVmJs0Cb","meta":{"instanceId":"1256144d80d79fc4f380e5f9dc63934d781f42abeb6ee748998ad3612720178f","templateCredsSetupCompleted":true},"name":"Watchflow Global Health Monitor","tags":[{"id":"Z3G9MT4HwiRujRJo","name":"test","createdAt":"2026-03-16T17:44:07.443Z","updatedAt":"2026-03-16T17:44:07.443Z"}],"nodes":[{"id":"ff05f5cc-da7d-46ed-9224-d55890535ee1","name":"Get All Workflows","type":"n8n-nodes-base.n8n","position":[624,704],"parameters":{"filters":{"tags":"daily","activeWorkflows":true},"returnAll":false,"requestOptions":{}},"credentials":{"n8nApi":{"id":"SyPWzieiLePZnMAi","name":"n8n account"}},"typeVersion":1},{"id":"a5dc1b43-4f23-43cc-9287-f146c197a8a2","name":"Get Last Execution","type":"n8n-nodes-base.n8n","position":[928,704],"parameters":{"limit":1,"filters":{"workflowId":{"__rl":true,"mode":"id","value":"={{ $json.id }}"}},"options":{"activeWorkflows":true},"resource":"execution","requestOptions":{}},"credentials":{"n8nApi":{"id":"SyPWzieiLePZnMAi","name":"n8n account"}},"typeVersion":1},{"id":"4947f32f-d4a4-4a6b-b70c-3bf2f69fdc61","name":"Is Successful?","type":"n8n-nodes-base.if","position":[1120,704],"parameters":{"options":{},"conditions":{"options":{"version":1,"leftValue":"","caseSensitive":true,"typeValidation":"strict"},"combinator":"and","conditions":[{"id":"success-check","operator":{"name":"equals","type":"string","operation":"equals"},"leftValue":"={{ $json.status }}","rightValue":"success"}]}},"typeVersion":2},{"id":"694e0ef1-851f-4994-8fd4-abe2739863c9","name":"Watchflow: Ping","type":"CUSTOM.watchflow","position":[1424,656],"parameters":{"key":"={{ $('Get All Workflows').item.json.name.toLowerCase().replace(/\\s+/g, '-') }}","data":"={ \"last_execution_id\": \"{{ $json.id }}\", \"finished_at\": \"{{ $json.stoppedAt }}\" }","name":"={{ $('Get All Workflows').item.json.name }}"},"credentials":{"watchflowApi":{"id":"test-creds","name":"Watchflow account"}},"typeVersion":1},{"id":"9bf58354-8274-4ca7-8d36-09eabc132f32","name":"Watchflow: Fail","type":"CUSTOM.watchflow","position":[1424,832],"parameters":{"key":"={{ $('Get All Workflows').item.json.name.toLowerCase().replace(/\\s+/g, '-') }}","data":"={ \"last_execution_id\": \"{{ $json.id }}\", \"error_details\":  {{ $json.data.resultData.error.message }}}","name":"={{ $('Get All Workflows').item.json.name }}","error":"={{  $json.data.resultData.error.message }}","operation":"fail"},"credentials":{"watchflowApi":{"id":"test-creds","name":"Watchflow account"}},"typeVersion":1},{"id":"7158dd0a-85fc-4646-ba52-6c02a57a7690","name":"Every Day","type":"n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger","position":[336,704],"parameters":{"rule":{"interval":[{}]}},"typeVersion":1.1},{"id":"9d6bad4d-4ac5-475c-86b2-580fccc6008a","name":"Sticky Setup","type":"n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote","position":[288,272],"parameters":{"width":556,"height":200,"content":"### 🚀 Setup & Requirements\n\n1. **Watchflow Node**: Install `@watchflow/n8n-nodes-watchflow` via npm.\n2. **Watchflow API Key**: Signup at `watchflow.io` -> Settings -> API Key.\n3. **n8n API Key**: Go to Settings -> n8n API in your instance.\n4. **n8n API Base URL**: Use `/v1/api` suffix (e.g., `https://n8n.domain.com/v1/api`)."},"typeVersion":1},{"id":"fb4d879d-7bfe-4ad6-8490-551aa6ad857a","name":"Sticky Trigger","type":"n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote","position":[288,528],"parameters":{"width":216,"height":100,"content":"### ⏰ 1.
