N8n updates workflow without user after error in pipedrive node

Describe the problem/error/question

When bulk editing records (in my case activities) in Pipedrive, all workflows which use a Pipedrive Trigger node (all of them, trigger type does not matter) get updated. It looks like a user edited these workflows manually in n8n.

Screenshot on what part of the workflow got edited:

nothing else changed in any of my workflows with Pipedrive triggers.

The workflow which should get triggered on the events gets executed like expected when using the bulk edit function of Pipedrive. But it does not do anything, just executes my Error Workflow.

Here’s the JSON from the Error:

JSON as text

[ { "execution":{ "id":"283485", "url":"https://n8n.domain.at/workflow/36/executions/283485", "error":{ "name":"WorkflowOperationError", "timestamp":1685009074163 }, "mode":"webhook" }, "workflow":{ "id":"36", "name":"[PIPEDRIVE] activity trigger" } } ]

The Bulk edit in this case triggered about 90 executions, which fully loaded my vps. With that, all other workflows which were running in the same timeframe (about 4 minutes) also did not correctly execute.

For example, following workflow:

Hi @FelixL, I am very sorry for the trouble. Iirc, this is how executions look like where even the trigger failed to run properly (and which therefore weren’t properly “started” and display no error messages on a specific node).

Is there any error in your n8n server logs around the time of these failed executions?

I do not have those logs any more, but I’ll try to recreate the issue tomorrow and post some logs.
