N8n selected the wrong input Airtable sheet

Questions

I got an issue that I think it’s very dangerous.

I set up two SEO workflows to fetch keywords from Airtable, generate content through AI Agent and upload them to two different websites (wordpress).

After completing the setup for Workflow 1, I copied it and modified some details to create Workflow 2. Both workflows share the same Airtable token but use different bases and sheets.

The two websites are in different languages. However, somehow, Workflow 1 fetched keywords from Workflow 2, generated content in Workflow 2’s language (the two workflows have nearly similar prompts but differ in the language specified in the prompts), and uploaded the content to Workflow 1’s website.

Yesterday, I also discovered a similar issue where Workflow 2 fetched keywords from Workflow 1 and uploaded them to Workflow 1’s website.

Additionally, I found that the two workflows cannot run simultaneously, even though I have activated both. This issue occurred after I noticed one workflow was not running and attempted to modify its settings.

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow

Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!

Since you copied the 2nd workflow it is likely you left some bits unchanged that caused te issue you described. I cannot think of any other reasons.

thank you for responding me.
After finished 1st workflow, I duplicate it and change the information, credential for 2nd workflow.
I also think about that cause too.
If I shouldn’t do that, so what’s the best way do run multiple workflow for nearly the same project?
thank you
