What it does

Do you consistently forget to set a Default Error Workflow when creating new workflows? Then this helper workflow is for you! When activated, this helper workflow will: Scan ALL other workflows every 4 hours Make sure ALL workflows have a default error workflow set (based on what Workflow ID you provide) This helper will SKIP OVER any workflows that have the defaulterror:false tag set (make sure your default error workflow has the defaulterror:false tag set, so that you don't end up with recursive loops during errors) Setup Nodes: Once imported, edit the Set Vars node with your defaulterrorworkflowid value. If you want to change the defaulterror:false tag to some other tag name, you can do so here as well. You need to update the Set Default Error Workflow node with your PostgreSQL credentials to access the n8n database.
