Readme
@org21/n8n-nodes-org21
n8n community node that sniffs workflow metadata, logs, timing, and errors from any flow — then triggers a sub-flow via webhook or n8n API.
Use it for observability, auditing, debugging, or orchestrating complex multi-workflow pipelines.
Installation
Community Nodes (recommended)
- Go to Settings > Community Nodes in your n8n instance
- Select Install a community node

Manual
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm install @org21/n8n-nodes-org21Nodes
Flow Sniffer
Drop this node into any workflow to capture execution data and trigger a sub-flow.
What it captures
| Toggle | Data | Default | |--------|------|---------| | Metadata | Workflow ID/name, execution ID, node name, timestamp | On | | Item Data | The actual JSON items passing through the node | On | | Timing | Execution timing, input/output item counts | On | | Errors | Error details from items with errors | On |
Trigger modes
- Webhook POST — POST sniffed data to any URL (typically a sub-flow's Webhook trigger)
- n8n API — Trigger a specific workflow via the n8n REST API (requires API key)
Options
- Pass Through — When enabled (default), original items pass through unchanged so the main flow continues normally. When disabled, the node outputs the sniffed payload instead.
- Additional Headers — Add custom HTTP headers to the trigger request.
Credentials
Org21 API (n8n API Key)
Required only when using n8n API trigger mode. Enter your n8n instance API key.
Generate one at: Settings > API > Create API Key in your n8n instance.
Example use cases
- Audit trail — Sniff every execution and POST to a logging sub-flow that writes to a database
- Error monitoring — Capture errors and trigger an alerting workflow (Slack, email, PagerDuty)
- Pipeline orchestration — Chain workflows together by sniffing completion data and triggering the next stage
- Cost tracking — Capture execution metadata and aggregate it in a reporting workflow
Compatibility
- n8n >= 1.0.0
- Node.js >= 22
