Your n8n workflow broke. I diagnose, fix, harden, and hand back — with everything written down.
Automations built to last.
Something broke. You're losing money, losing data, or losing both. The execution log shows red but you can't pinpoint why. Or worse — the workflow just stopped firing and nobody noticed for two days.
I diagnose the root cause, fix it, add idempotency and audit-log retrofit so it doesn't break the same way again, and hand you back a working workflow with a written explanation of what went wrong.
24–48 hour SLA. Async. Written. You send the broken workflow. I send back a fixed one with a root cause report.

Fit
Who this is for
Anyone whose production n8n workflow just broke and they're losing money or data. The execution log shows failures. The downstream system isn't getting its data. Customers are noticing.
Or you inherited a broken workflow from someone who left. It ran fine for 6 months, then stopped. There's no documentation, no runbook, and the person who built it is unreachable.
Or your contractor disappeared mid-build. The workflow is half-finished, partially broken, and you need someone to stabilize it and get it running.
This is the emergency tier. Fast turnaround. Fixed price. No discovery call. You send the problem. I send the fix.
Free triage
Diagnose it yourself first
Before you buy anything: most broken n8n workflows fail in one of five ways, and a few of them you can often fix yourself in fifteen minutes. Start in the execution log — open the failed execution, find the <em>first</em> red node (not the last one; downstream nodes go red because an upstream one already failed), and read its error output. Then work through the list below.
The five failures behind most n8n breakages
- <strong>Expired or revoked credentials.</strong> Symptom: 401/403 errors, “unauthorized”, or a node that worked for months suddenly failing. Cause: an OAuth token expired, an API key was rotated, or a password changed. Quick check: open the credential, re-authenticate, and re-run the failed execution.
- <strong>An API changed under you.</strong> Symptom: 400/422 errors, “field required”, or data arriving in a shape your nodes don't expect. Cause: the third-party API changed its request or response format. Quick check: compare the node's current output against what the next node expects — a Set / Edit Fields node usually realigns it.
- <strong>A silent webhook drop.</strong> Symptom: the workflow simply stopped firing and nobody noticed. Cause: the webhook URL changed (test vs production), the trigger was deactivated, or the sender stopped calling it. Quick check: confirm the workflow is Active, copy the production webhook URL, and send it a test payload.
- <strong>A database lock or storage limit (self-hosted).</strong> Symptom: executions hang, time out, or the UI gets sluggish. Cause: SQLite locking under concurrency, or the disk / execution-data table filling up. Quick check: look for “database is locked” in the logs — at any real volume the durable fix is Postgres (SKU C — Self-Hosted Setup, or SKU P — Scaling & Performance).
- <strong>An n8n version break.</strong> Symptom: a node or expression that worked stopped after an update. Cause: a breaking change between n8n versions. Quick check: read the changelog for the version you jumped to, and look for a renamed or removed parameter on the affected node.
Still broken — or no time to debug it?
If you've worked through the list and the workflow is still down, the cause is deeper, or you simply can't be the one debugging it at 2 AM — that's what Rescue is for. I find the root cause, fix it, and retrofit idempotency + an audit log so the same failure can't silently recur. 24–48h, fixed price, everything written down.
Deliverable
What you receive
A fixed workflow, a written explanation, and hardening so the same failure doesn't happen twice.
- Root cause analysis — written, 1 page, plain English. What broke, why, and what triggered it.
- Fix applied to the broken workflow — the workflow runs again, tested against the failure scenario.
- Idempotency retrofit — duplicate events won't cause duplicate processing. Dedup logic added where missing.
- Audit log retrofit — every execution writes a structured trace so you can answer “what happened” after the fact.
- Operator runbook for the fixed workflow — what to check, how to recover, what the warning signs look like.
- 30-day fix guarantee on what was touched — if the same failure recurs within 30 days due to my fix, I repair it at no charge.
Scope exclusions
What's NOT included
- Full workflow rewrites. If the workflow needs a ground-up rebuild, that's SKU H — Integration Build. I'll tell you in the root cause report if a rewrite is warranted.
- Ongoing monitoring. After the fix ships, monitoring is your responsibility or covered under SKU I — Retainer.
- Platform migrations. If the fix requires moving off n8n, that's SKU B — Stack Migration.
- New feature development. I fix what's broken and harden it. I don't add new capabilities.
- Workflows on Zapier, Make, or Pipedream. n8n only.
- More than 3 workflows per order. For larger-scale rescue, buy multiple orders or scope a custom engagement.
Process
How it works
- 01
You buy.
$597 for single workflow / $1,247 for up to 3 workflows. Fund the milestone immediately.
- 02
You send the broken workflow + description.
n8n workflow JSON export. Plus: what's broken (in your words), when it started failing, what you've already tried, and what downstream system is affected.
- 03
I diagnose and fix within SLA.
24 hours for single workflow, 48 hours for multi-workflow. If I hit a blocker (missing credential, unclear intent), one written question.
- 04
You receive the fixed workflow + root cause report.
Import the fixed JSON. Test against the failure scenario. Accept or reject in writing. Root cause report explains what went wrong and what was hardened.

| Single workflow rescue | $597 | 24 hours |
| Multi-workflow rescue (up to 3) | $1,247 | 48 hours |
Fixed price. SLA starts when I receive the workflow JSON and the problem description. The clock is real — miss the SLA and the milestone refunds.
