Requesting verification or a reset of your backend progress records for the N8N102 Section 1 API Integration Pipeline assessment, because despite your workflow being correctly configured and executed, the final checkpoint call to /finalize keeps returnin

I’m working through N8N102: Integrations — Section 1 (API Integration Pipeline) and I’m blocked on the final checkpoint. The FinalizePipeline call to /course/n8n102/finalize returns HTTP 422 every time:

{"error":"Progress incompleted. You have not completed all steps in this assessment."}

I believe this is a backend progress-tracking issue rather than a workflow configuration error, and I’d like to ask you to verify or reset the progress state for my assessment.

Assessment ID: b4f6ac815594d012470f567e3b648e00

What I’ve verified. I have run the entire workflow start to finish in a single continuous execution. Every prior step completes successfully in that same run:

  • GetOrders — pagination working, returns 50 orders
  • MergeOrdersCustomers — native Merge (Combine / Matching Fields / customer_id / Enrich Input 1), 50 enriched records
  • SendToOrdersQueue — returns orders_queued: 50 with a confirmation code
  • FilterDelivered — 12 non-delivered enterprise orders
  • BatchPriorityOrders — Loop Over Items, batch size 5 (12 items processed as 5 / 5 / 2)
  • SendToPriorityQueue — all 12 enterprise orders receive priority confirmation codes
  • FinalizePipeline — Execute Once enabled; body sent as correctly typed values:
{
  "total_orders": 50,
  "enterprise_count": 12,
  "batch_size": 5,
  "retry_enabled": true
}

These values match the Step 2.7 specification exactly, and the earlier “Invalid final data counts” error is no longer occurring — only “Progress incompleted” remains.

Confirmation codes already obtained (proof the prior checkpoints ran):

  • Orders Queue: N8N-FOUNDATIONS-N8N102-S1-PAGED-ORDERS-QUEUE-2026-B6S3SS2L
  • Priority Queue: N8N-FOUNDATIONS-N8N102-S1-PRIORITY-QUEUE-2026-0W5CC9M1

I’ve noticed these confirmation codes are identical on every run, which suggests the endpoints may be replaying cached responses rather than recording fresh progress against my assessment. This also appears related to the known issues described in the pinned “Program Certificates and Badges Issues” announcement.

Request: Could you please check the backend progress records for my Assessment ID and confirm whether the Orders Queue and Priority Queue checkpoints are registered? If they aren’t recording correctly, please reset or manually mark my Section 1 progress so I can finalize.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @covenantogar Welcome!
Step 1 and step 2 are recorded as separate checkpoints, and running the paginated step 2 pipeline does not submit step 1. That is the checkpoint /finalize is counting as missing, so a backend reset would not change anything. Re-run the step 1 nodes as they were before you added pagination, submit those orders to the queue, then run the step 2 pipeline and finalize.
