Workflow for Retrieving and Exporting All Execution Records
This workflow can be manually triggered and automatically retrieves execution records of all workflows, supporting full data extraction. The retrieved data will be converted into CSV format for easier subsequent analysis and processing. The workflow design is simple and supports flexible replacement of storage nodes, facilitating data archiving or distribution, thus enhancing operational efficiency and analysis. It addresses the cumbersome issues of querying execution records and exporting data, making it particularly suitable for users who need to manage and analyze execution data in bulk.
Workflow Name
Workflow for Retrieving and Exporting All Execution Records
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is manually triggered and automatically calls the n8n system API to fetch all workflow execution records without any filtering, supporting full data retrieval. It then converts the execution records into CSV format files, facilitating data parsing and subsequent processing. The workflow is designed with simplicity and clear nodes, allowing flexible replacement of downstream storage nodes to enable data archiving or distribution.
Core Problems Addressed
Helps users quickly export all workflow execution histories from the n8n platform in bulk, eliminating the tedious process of querying and exporting execution records manually. This avoids the need for viewing and copying records one by one, thereby improving operational and analytical efficiency.
Application Scenarios
- Monitoring and statistical analysis of workflow run status
- Archiving and backing up execution logs
- Preparing structured execution data for data analysis tools
- Regular export of execution records by operations teams for troubleshooting or optimization
Main Process Steps
- Manually trigger the workflow to start execution
- Call the n8n API to retrieve all workflow execution records
- Convert the retrieved execution data into CSV file format
- Provide placeholder nodes that can be replaced with any cloud storage or data processing service to enable data storage or subsequent automated operations
Involved Systems or Services
- n8n platform (fetching execution records via API)
- CSV file format conversion node
- Extensible to any cloud storage services (e.g., AWS S3, Google Drive, etc.)
Target Users and Value
- n8n platform administrators and operations personnel
- Developers and data analysts who need to manage and analyze workflow execution data in bulk
- Technical teams aiming to automate execution record export and archiving
- Enterprise users requiring periodic generation of execution log reports
This workflow provides n8n users with a streamlined and efficient solution for exporting execution data, facilitating centralized data management and analysis, and significantly enhancing management efficiency and data utilization value.
