Building Agentic Workflows in n8n: A Design Guide
An agentic workflow lets an AI model decide what happens next. Scope its authority, validate its output, log every step.

Zapier and n8n differ in retries, error handling and reuse. Here is where those differences matter in complex workflows today.

A production rate engine querying several LTL carriers in parallel: the sub-workflow map, the payload shape, and the failure handling.

Four layers between a workflow that runs in testing and one that survives production — error handling, observability and deployment discipline.
