Hello n8n Team,
I am a new user on the n8n cloud trial, and I am running into some serious issues with my instance that I have not been able to solve.
My Goal: I have built a workflow that should post one random image from a Google Drive folder to a Facebook page every day.
The Problem: The workflow runs successfully, but it posts the exact same image and caption every single time during live/scheduled runs.
Troubleshooting Steps We Have Already Tried: My workflow is now perfect, but the randomization step fails in live runs. We have confirmed the following issues with my cloud instance:
- The
Code
Node is not random. It produces the same output every time in a live run, even when using different randomization methods likeMath.random()
or time-based code (new Date().getTime()
or$workflow.startTime
). It only produces a random result when testing the node step-by-step. - My n8n instance is missing fundamental nodes. We have searched the node panel and have confirmed that standard nodes like
Item Lists
andSQLite
are completely missing. - The
HTTP Request
node is blocked. We tried to use external public APIs for randomness (random.org
,time.jsontest.com
), but all requests fail with network errors (“Access Denied” from Cloudflare or “The connection cannot be established”).
Conclusion: It seems my cloud instance is running in a non-standard, broken, or heavily restricted environment that is preventing my workflow from functioning. Could you please investigate my account and instance?
Thank you for your help.
