Reading the Execution Log
Every time a workflow runs, n8n logs the execution. Click “Executions” in the left sidebar to see the history. Each row shows the timestamp, the trigger that fired, and whether the run succeeded or failed.
Click into any execution to see the data that passed through each node. This is your debugging tool. When something goes wrong — wrong field name, unexpected data shape, API error — the execution log shows you exactly where the failure happened and what data was present at that point.
Get comfortable with the execution log early. You’ll use it constantly.
