How do I handle errors in n8n when the local AI server is down?
Category:Low-Code & Automation
Quick Answer
Use n8n Error Trigger, health check workflows, cloud API fallback, and retry logic with exponential backoff.
Detailed Answer
Add error handling to your workflows: 1) Try/Catch pattern using n8n's Error Trigger node. 2) Health checks: create a workflow that pings BitNet every minute and alerts on failure. 3) Fallback: route to a cloud API (OpenAI, Claude) if local fails. 4) Retry logic: configure HTTP Request node with automatic retries and exponential backoff. This ensures your automations remain reliable even during maintenance.
