N8n

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
  1. In n8n: Go to Settings → API in your n8n instance and generate an API key
  2. Back in Roiva: Enter your n8n instance URL in the Instance URL field (e.g. https://n8n.yourcompany.com)
  3. Back in Roiva: Paste the API key and save the connection
  4. 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
