n8n

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

• 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

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: The connection page checks each step, including every workflow an initiative link names, and says what's missing. Once it's all ticked, click Test Connection
5. 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)

• 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
