What Is a Workflow Audit?

A workflow audit systematically reviews your n8n automation for potential issues before they cause problems in production. This includes checking for security vulnerabilities (like exposed API keys), missing error handling, deprecated nodes, and performance bottlenecks. Think of it as a code review specifically designed for n8n workflows.

Why Audit Your Workflows Before Production

Workflows that work in testing often fail in production due to edge cases, rate limits, or unexpected data. A single missing error handler can cause cascading failures. Security issues like hardcoded credentials can lead to data breaches. Auditing catches these problems before they affect your business operations or expose sensitive data.

n8n Production Workflow Checklist

  • Always add Error Trigger workflow for critical automations
  • Never hardcode API keys or credentials in Code nodes
  • Add timeout settings to HTTP Request nodes
  • Use retry logic for external API calls
  • Split large workflows into smaller sub-workflows
  • Document your workflow purpose and data flow

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the workflow auditor check for?

The auditor checks for security issues (hardcoded credentials, exposed API keys), missing error handling, deprecated nodes, performance concerns (too many nodes, deep nesting), and general best practices violations.

How do I export my workflow JSON from n8n?

In n8n, open your workflow, click the three-dot menu in the top right, and select 'Download'. This exports your workflow as a JSON file. Open that file and paste the contents into this tool.

Will this tool see my credentials?

n8n workflow exports don't include actual credential values—only references to credential IDs. Your API keys and passwords stay secure in your n8n instance. The auditor can only detect if credentials are hardcoded incorrectly in Code nodes.

What's a good security score?

Aim for 8/10 or higher for production workflows. A score below 6 indicates significant issues that should be fixed before deployment. The most common issues are missing error handling and hardcoded values in Code nodes.
