Webhook: no active execution found

Describe the problem/error/question

Hi, I have a workflow that usually works fine, triggered by a webhook. But from time to time I get this error message: “no active execution found”, without any information in the execution panel (when I click the webhook trigger to check what’s going on, it’s empty, like if the workflow was trigger but nothing happened).
More details:

  • have a timeout on the whole workflow
  • I have setup an error workflow, which strangely is triggered twice every time it fails. This error workflow btw runs on execution order v0 (it’s an old workflow)
  • the input of the error workflow is
[
  {
    "execution": {
      "id": "947079",
      "url": "https://mydomain.com/workflow/5/executions/947079",
      "error": {
        "level": "warning",
        "tags": {},
        "context": {},
        "functionality": "regular",
        "name": "WorkflowOperationError",
        "timestamp": 1727430804252,
        "message": "Workflow has been canceled or timed out",
        "stack": "WorkflowOperationError: Workflow has been canceled or timed out\n    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1069:84\n    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)\n    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1100:20"
      },
      "lastNodeExecuted": "Track Tech Vendors on Cloud Run",
      "mode": "webhook"
    },
    "workflow": {
      "id": "5",
      "name": "Slack - Notify on new lead"
    }
  }
]

What is the error message (if any)?

Workflow execution had an error
no active execution found

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.60.1 (but happened with previous versions)
  • Database (default: SQLite): Postgres
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Linuw

Actually, the input from the 1st error workflow is different

[
  {
    "execution": {
      "id": "947079",
      "url": "https://mydomain.com/workflow/5/executions/947079",
      "error": {
        "level": "warning",
        "tags": {},
        "context": {},
        "functionality": "regular",
        "name": "WorkflowOperationError",
        "timestamp": 1727430804252,
        "message": "Workflow has been canceled or timed out",
        "stack": "WorkflowOperationError: Workflow has been canceled or timed out\n    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1069:84\n    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)\n    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1100:20"
      },
      "lastNodeExecuted": "Track Tech Vendors on Cloud Run",
      "mode": "webhook"
    },
    "workflow": {
      "id": "5",
      "name": "Slack - Notify on new lead"
    }
  }
]

I guess the main workflow stops on “lastNodeExecuted”: “Track Tech Vendors on Cloud Run” which is an http request that probably timeout. Previous nodes executes correctly, but I was expecting to see them at least

Hey @Anthony_Brebion , sounds like the workflow is timing out. If you check the duration of the failed execution what time is reported?
