05 Jan What are Workflow Executions in n8n

A workflow execution is a single complete run of a workflow from start to finish. It’s the unit of “work” done by n8n. Let us understand it more:

• Analogy: Think of a workflow like a recipe. An execution is each time you follow that recipe from beginning to end to produce a dish.
• How it’s counted: Every time a workflow is triggered (manually, by a schedule, or by a webhook), it consumes one execution. If a workflow has 10 nodes and it runs, that’s 1 execution, not 10.
• Importance for the Trial: The free cloud trial includes a limited number of monthly executions. This teaches students to be mindful—test with purpose, use the “Execute Node” function for debugging, and understand the consumption model of cloud automation platforms.
