Centralized n8n Error Alerts and Controlled Retries

Portfolio project
Khalil Abdelhamid
What it does: every linked automation reports its failures to this one workflow. It sorts each failure by type, decides whether a retry is safe, waits, retries, checks the result and sends a final alert if the problem is still there.
How it helps: you hear about a failure when it happens, not days later from a customer. Failures that are safe to retry get a second try without anyone stepping in.
What it protects against: whole-run retries stay off unless a workflow is marked safe to repeat, so a workflow that already sent emails isn't run again by mistake. Every failure is logged and alerted, so problems don't sit unnoticed. Anything still unresolved after its retries goes to a review list instead of looping.

Catches failures from every workflow, retries only the safe ones and sends an alert when something stays broken.
