"How to Trigger an n8n Workflow" matching MCP tools:
- Create an empty workflow with a manual, cron, or webhook trigger. Returns its ID and, for webhooks, a public hook URL; add steps later.MIT
- Immediately start a workflow execution for a contact, bypassing its trigger. Use when the trigger would not fire; returns the execution ID.MITDestructive
- Manually trigger a scheduled DBOS workflow immediately while preserving its cron timing. Supply application and schedule names to start the run and get the workflow ID.MIT
- Trigger a Shuffle SOAR workflow using its workflow ID and an optional JSON body. Every invocation is authenticated and produces a cryptographic ProofLink receipt.MIT
- Create a conditional trigger that periodically evaluates a plain-language condition and activates a workflow when the condition is met.MIT

- Create a reusable workflow tag in n8n with a specified name, ready for later assignment to workflows.MIT
- Test any n8n workflow by automatically detecting trigger type and applying the correct testing method with structured results and error diagnosis.MIT
- Retrieve a complete automation workflow including its trigger, steps, settings, and enrolment counts. Review exactly what an automation will do to contacts before activating it.MIT
- Verify n8n Manager safety settings, backup directory, audit log location, and confirm whether the optional workflow-manager seam is configured and reachable.MIT
- Manage evaluation test runs for n8n workflows: trigger runs, retrieve aggregated metrics, list per-case results, and cancel executions.MITDestructive
- Get a recommended workflow for looking up n8n nodes, validating configs, and managing live instances. Use as a starting point when unsure where to begin.BSD 2-Clause "Simplified"
- Build a self-contained replay workflow to test one node from a larger n8n workflow using pinned inputs or prior execution data, letting you debug that node without rerunning the whole pipeline.MIT
- Creates a workflow on a live n8n instance from JSON, stripping read-only fields, and leaves it inactive for activation.MIT
- Trigger an active n8n workflow by sending a JSON payload to its Webhook trigger node. Provide workflow_id and optional data, received in the workflow as $json.body.MIT
- Create a workflow on a live n8n instance from generated JSON, stripping read-only fields. It is created inactive; activate it afterward.MIT
- Retrieve trigger details for an Azure Logic App workflow, including last and next execution times. Requires subscription, resource group, and logic app name; workflow name needed for Standard SKU.MIT
- Retry a failed or stopped execution by ID; if the API lacks retry support, re-trigger the workflow via webhook.MIT
- Get an n8n workflow by ID with selectable detail levels: full draft, published graph, execution stats, node topology, or filtered nodes.MIT
- Retrieve workflow executions from n8n, filtering by workflow ID or status (success, error, running, waiting) to inspect run history and troubleshoot issues.MIT
- Save a checksum-verified local backup of an n8n workflow before changes, so guarded updates can refuse writes unless a matching backup exists.MIT
