What's the best way to know when a Zap silently stops working?

I'm curious how people running business-critical Zaps handle monitoring.

Error notifications are one thing, but what about:

  • Zap runs but output is wrong
  • trigger stops arriving
  • API behavior changes
  • Zap hasn't run when it normally should

How are you handling these cases?

How are you monitoring n8n workflows in production?

I've been thinking about a problem that becomes painful once you have dozens of production workflows:

How do you know when an automation has silently stopped doing what it should?

Execution errors are relatively easy to detect.

The harder cases are:

  • workflow executes successfully but produces bad/empty output
  • webhook stops receiving events
  • upstream API changes behavior
  • workflow hasn't executed for an unusually long time
  • downstream system stops receiving expected data

Curious how people running n8n in production handle this today.

Do you rely on n8n's built-in execution/error handling, custom alerting, external monitoring, or something else?
