When you ask
Explain why an n8n workflow failed
Name a workflow and the agent reads its latest failed run, finds the node that broke and explains the error in plain words.
Your n8n integrations, watched by an AI agent
Letaido's n8n integrations let one AI agent check runs, clean up workflows and report to 64 other apps.
Best n8n integration jobs to start with
Each one checked step by step. Open one to watch it run.
Every Monday at 9am
Weekly failed n8n runs in Slack
Every Monday, the agent lists last week's failed n8n runs by workflow, with the error that stopped each one, in your ops channel.
When you ask
Archive n8n workflows nobody uses
The agent finds published workflows with no saved runs in 90 days, shows you the list, and archives the ones you confirm.
Every Monday at 8am
Weekly n8n run counts in a sheet
Every Monday, the agent adds one row per n8n workflow to your sheet: last week's runs, failures and failure rate.
On the 1st of each month
Monthly n8n security check in Slack
On the first of each month, the agent runs n8n's security audit and posts the risky credentials, nodes and unused workflows to Slack.
When you ask
Retry failed n8n runs after a fix
After you fix a workflow, the agent lists its failed runs from the past day and retries the ones you confirm.

| Option | How it works | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Letaido AI agent | You describe the job in a chat. The agent uses n8n's API to read runs, workflows and data tables, and can archive, retry or tag. It reports to Slack, Sheets and 62 more apps, on a schedule or when you ask. | Looking after the instance: weekly failure reports, cleanups and plain answers on why a run broke. | It manages n8n. It does not add nodes to n8n or replace its editor. Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once. |
| n8n's own nodes | n8n's 2,300+ integrations, plus the HTTP Request node for any API, inside workflows you build. | Moving data between apps on a trigger. | You build and maintain each workflow in the editor. |
| n8n error workflows | A workflow that starts with the Error Trigger runs when another workflow fails, for example to send a Slack alert. | An alert the moment one workflow fails. | You link it to each workflow, and it runs each time that workflow fails. |
| n8n MCP server | Lets clients such as Claude Desktop search workflows, run the ones you enable for MCP, and build or edit workflows and data tables. | Running or building workflows while you chat with an AI app. | Each workflow must be enabled for MCP. Scheduling depends on the AI app. |
| n8n API | A REST API for workflows, runs, credentials, data tables, users and more, with an API key. | Scripts and CI pipelines that manage n8n. | Needs developers. Not on an n8n Cloud trial. |
| Zapier and Make | Workflows that call an n8n webhook to start a workflow, or read what an n8n workflow sends back. | Starting an n8n workflow from an app n8n doesn't cover. | Another workflow tool to pay for and maintain. |
How the n8n integration works
Connect n8n once. After that, you describe each job in plain English.
-
1Paste an n8n API key and your instance address
- 2Ask for a job in a chat, or start from an example above
-
3Approve the first run
Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once.

4Watch the first run in the chat
Save it to repeat on a schedule.
How an n8n job starts
A schedule starts the job, or you do by asking.
- On a scheduleEvery Monday morning, every weekday, or the first of the month.
- When you askType the job in a Letaido chat, such as why a workflow failed, and it runs once.
Setup details
Create an n8n API key
In n8n, open Settings, then n8n API, create a key with a label and an expiry, and copy it.
Paste it into Letaido
Add the key and your instance's HTTPS address, such as your n8n Cloud address.
Check your plan
The API works on paid n8n Cloud plans and every self-hosted edition. An n8n Cloud trial doesn't include it.
Watch the first run
Describe the job and Letaido runs it once in the chat. Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once. Then save it to repeat.
Every n8n action the agent can take
81 actions in 13 groups. Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once.

Frequently asked
Does Letaido add new nodes to n8n? +
No. Letaido manages n8n, it doesn't extend it. Your workflows keep using n8n's own integrations.
What can Letaido do in n8n? +
It reads workflows, runs, data tables and audits. It can also archive, publish or tag workflows, retry or stop runs, and update data tables. It has 81 n8n actions in all.
Does n8n have an API? +
Yes. Letaido connects through n8n's API, which works on paid n8n Cloud plans and every self-hosted edition. An n8n Cloud trial doesn't include it.
How do I get an n8n API key? +
In n8n, open Settings, then n8n API, and create a key with a label and an expiry. Paste the key and your instance's HTTPS address into Letaido. On Enterprise you can limit what the key may do.
Is there an n8n MCP server? +
Yes. n8n's built-in MCP server lets clients such as Claude Desktop search workflows, run the ones you enable, and build or edit workflows. Letaido is not an MCP server. It uses n8n's API, runs jobs on a schedule, and reports to Slack, Google Sheets and other apps.
Can ChatGPT or Claude use n8n? +
Yes. n8n's MCP server works with clients such as Claude Desktop, and n8n's docs include setup steps for ChatGPT. Letaido is separate: its own agent, connected to n8n with an API key, that can repeat a job on a schedule.
Is self-hosted n8n supported? +
Yes, if the instance has the public API on and is reachable over HTTPS from the internet.
What do I approve before it changes my workflows? +
Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once.
