n8n Workflow Rules (Detailed)

Naming & Organization

  • Workflows named by intent: Daily Sales Sync, Customer Count Ingest.
  • Nodes named by action + target: Fetch Sheets Orders, Upsert Orders DB, Notify Slack.
  • Use tags for environment and domain (e.g., prod, sales, sync).

Error Handling & Retries

  • Add error trigger workflows for alerting; include execution id and payload hash.
  • Configure retries with exponential backoff on HTTP/DB nodes; cap attempts.
  • For idempotency, use unique keys (e.g., orderId + source) and UPSERT semantics.

Credentials & Secrets

  • Store in n8n credentials; never inline secrets.
  • Separate creds per environment; restrict permissions to least privilege.

Webhooks

  • Validate signatures; reject old timestamps; respond quickly (ack + async).
  • Rate limit and deduplicate incoming events; log verification failures.

Data Handling

  • Normalize shapes early; validate required fields; drop unexpected.
  • For CSV/Excel, define column maps and types; handle UTF-8/BOM.
  • Use Set/Function nodes to enforce schemas before DB writes.

Scheduling

  • Avoid overlapping runs; use mutex flags or Wait nodes when needed.
  • Stagger heavy jobs; align with source rate limits.

Observability

  • Enable execution logging; push errors to Slack/Email.
  • Track metrics: success rate, duration, retries, DLQ size.
  • Keep workflow changelog in memory-bank/progress.md.

Templates

  • Ingest: Webhook → Validate → Transform → UPSERT (DB) → Notify.
  • Report: Cron → Fetch metrics → Aggregate → Generate file → Upload → Notify.
  • Sync: Poll API → Diff → Apply changes → Emit webhooks to downstream.
