Getting Execution Data

[Billel_Ridelle]

Hi there

I am truing to setup a last step in my workflow that would download the execution data and pass it to another workflow, I’ve setup my n8n API key correctly and im using a set node just before the n8n to extract the execution ID.

The problem im facing is that no matter what I do the n8n get execution never works.

I tried inputting the {{$execution.id}} formula right in the n8n node at first without the set node before and it didn’t work either.

See nodes below:

Anyone faced the same issue ?

Any help would be appreciated, im on the cloud version.

Hi there, the error signifies that the execution you’re trying to find does not exist

i would suggest you to first trigger the Get All Executions, to confirm that the ID that you’re looking for is there

and/or, from the result of Get All Exeuction, just use 1 random id from there to test the Get One Execution and see if it works

}
}"

I really don’t know what I am missing here ?

This is working.

But getting the current execution_id is quite weird for me.

If you want to get the last execution from certain workflow.

here it is

do u still get the err?
