Automation
n8n
Open-source workflow automation tool with self-hosting support, code nodes for custom logic, and 400+ built-in integrations. Roiva syncs your n8n workflow execution counts — total, successful, and failed — as monthly metric observations for ROI measurement.
What gets synced
Roiva writes these metric observations on each sync. Reference the key in a value formula to use this data in your ROI calculations.
Workflow Executions
n8n.workflow.<workflow_id>.executions.count
Total execution count (dynamic per workflow, e.g. n8n.workflow.101.executions.count)
count
n8n.workflow.<workflow_id>.executions.success_count
Successful execution count (dynamic per workflow)
count
n8n.workflow.<workflow_id>.executions.error_count
Failed execution count (dynamic per workflow)
count
Common use cases
- Track how many times an AI automation workflow ran each month as a proxy for adoption and throughput
- Measure success and error rates for automated workflows before and after AI tooling changes
- Attribute automation volume growth to specific AI initiatives
- Use execution counts as the denominator in cost-per-run value formulas
How to connect
- In n8n: Go to Settings → API in your n8n instance and generate an API key
- Back in Roiva: Enter your n8n instance URL in the Instance URL field (e.g. https://n8n.yourcompany.com)
- Back in Roiva: Paste the API key and save the connection
- Back in Roiva: Link this connection to an initiative on the Initiatives tab; optionally add a Filter with key workflow_ids and the IDs of the workflows to track (comma-separated, e.g. 101,202)
Tips for capturing value
- Workflow IDs are visible in the n8n workflow editor URL — e.g. /workflow/101
- Without a workflow_ids filter, Roiva aggregates executions across all workflows — useful for account-wide automation volume tracking
- Success rate (success_count ÷ count) is a useful signal for AI automation reliability initiatives
- Self-hosted n8n is ideal for organizations that cannot send data to third-party automation platforms
