Why Sync Visibility Matters

Your monitoring is only as good as your data freshness.

Stale Data, Blind Spots

Your dashboard shows green lights, but the last sync was 6 hours ago. A client's workflow has been failing all morning and you have no idea.

Credential Expiration Surprises

An n8n API key expired and syncs stopped silently. You find out when a client asks why their metrics aren't updating.

No Visibility into Sync Status

Did the last sync succeed? How many records were updated? When did it run? Without answers, you're trusting that everything just works.

Complete Sync Visibility

Everything you need to trust that your data is current.

Sync Status at a Glance

See every n8n instance with last sync time and status: never synced, OK, or error. Know immediately which instances need attention.

Sync History

View the last 10 sync runs per instance. See sync type (workflows or executions), duration, records created/updated, and any error messages.

Manual Sync Triggers

Need fresh data now? Click 'Sync now' to trigger an immediate sync for any instance. 'Sync all' refreshes everything at once.

Sync Failure Alerts

Get notified when syncs fail. Know immediately when an instance becomes unreachable or credentials stop working.

Records Tracking

Each sync shows how many workflows and executions were created or updated. Useful for understanding data flow and spotting anomalies.

Error Details

When syncs fail, see the error message. Authentication issues, network errors, rate limits - know exactly what went wrong.

Sync Status at a Glance

See every instance, every sync, every status.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do syncs run?
Workflow syncs run hourly to pick up new or renamed workflows. Execution syncs run every 5 minutes to capture new runs and failures. You can trigger manual syncs anytime for immediate updates.
What causes sync failures?
Common causes: expired or revoked API keys, n8n instance unreachable (server down, network issues), rate limiting if you have very high execution volumes, or API changes in n8n. The error message will indicate the specific cause.
What happens when a sync fails?
The instance is marked with an error status and the error message is saved. You can see it on the Sync Health page. If you have webhooks configured, you'll receive a notification. The next scheduled sync will retry automatically.
Can I pause syncs for maintenance?
Not currently as a built-in feature, but you can temporarily change or remove the API key for an instance if you need to stop syncs during maintenance. The instance will show as never synced until you restore the key.
Is there a way to see sync history?
Yes. Each instance shows its last 10 sync runs with type (workflows or executions), status, duration, records created/updated, and any error message. This helps you spot patterns in sync failures.
How do I know if my data is fresh?
Check the 'Last synced' timestamp for each instance on the Sync Health page. If it's within the last 5 minutes for executions or 1 hour for workflows, your data is current. Any issues will show an error status.
