Select „Create workflow”. Select „Add first step…” and choose „On a schedule”. In „Trigger Interval”, set how often it runs. Add the next step with the plus sign, then try it with „Execute workflow”. When it works, select „Publish”. The schedule only runs by itself after that. Check the runs n8n remembers every run, so you can see afterwards what happened. In the menu on the left, open the „Executions” page. Next to every run you see its status: „Success” or „Error”. Select a failed run: the workflow opens, and you see which step got stuck. Invite a family member Everyone works with their own account and sees their own workflows. In the menu on the left, open „Settings”, then the „Users” page. Select „Invite” and type the family member's e-mail address. Select „Create invite link”: the link goes to the clipboard. Send them the link. Through it they set their own name and password. Frequently asked questions Why does the workflow not run by itself? Only a published workflow runs by itself. Check that the header says „Published”; if not, select „Publish”. How do I switch a workflow off? Open it, and in the menu next to the „Publish” button choose „Unpublish”. The workflow stays, it just does not start by itself. Which address do I give a webhook? In the webhook step, the „Production URL” belongs to the published workflow and is reached on auto.tester4.test. The „Test URL” is for trying it out in the editor. A family member forgot their password. What do I do? On the „Users” page, in the menu next to their name, choose „Copy Password Reset Link”, and send them the link. Are the saved sign-in details safe? n8n stores the sign-in details you save for services encrypted, with a key the box made at install time. What is backed up, you see on the dashboard, on n8n's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
