## Pricing

from $0.45 / audit report

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Automation Workflow Audit Tool — n8n & Make

Paste any **n8n workflow export** or **Make (Integromat) blueprint** and receive a structured, AI-powered audit report in seconds.

### What you get

- **Executive summary** — what the workflow does and its overall risk level
- **Step-by-step flow analysis** — each node explained in plain language
- **Risk analysis** — missing error handlers, fragile triggers, external dependency risks
- **Concrete issues** — specific weaknesses and ambiguities flagged directly
- **Improvement recommendations** — architecture, stability, monitoring
- **Quality score** — 1–10 with explanation
- **Operations & maintenance advice**
- **Optional test plan** — happy path, failure, duplicate trigger, credential issues

Output is **Markdown**, pushed to the Actor dataset and ready to copy into Notion, Confluence, or any docs tool.

---

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `platform` | ✅ | `n8n` or `make` |
| `workflowJson` | ✅ | Exported JSON from n8n or Make |
| `model` | — | `claude-sonnet-4-5` (default, recommended) or `claude-haiku-4-5` (faster, cheaper) |
| `includeTestPlan` | — | `true` (default) — append a test checklist to the report |
| `language` | — | `de`, `en`, `fr`, `es` — auto-detected from workflow content if not set |

---

### Quickstart

#### 1. Export your workflow

**n8n:** Open your workflow → ⋯ menu → *Download* → saves as `.json`

**Make:** Open your scenario → ⋯ menu → *Export Blueprint* → saves as `.json`

#### 2. Run the Actor

Paste the JSON into the **Workflow JSON** field in the Apify UI, select your platform, and hit **Start**.

#### 3. Retrieve the report

The audit report is saved in **two places** after each run:

After each run, three files are available under **Storage → Key-Value Store**:

| File | Format | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| `report.pdf` | PDF | Sending to clients, attaching to tickets |
| `report.docx` | Word | Editing, adding company branding |
| `report.md` | Markdown | Pasting into Notion, Confluence, GitHub |

Go to the run page → **Storage → Key-Value Store** → click the file → **Download**.

The full audit is also available as a JSON record in **Storage → Dataset** (`documentation` field) for programmatic access.

---

### Example input (UI / JSON mode)

```json
{
  "platform": "n8n",
  "workflowJson": "{\"name\":\"Invoice → Slack Notification\",\"nodes\":[{\"name\":\"Webhook\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.webhook\"},{\"name\":\"Parse Invoice\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.function\"},{\"name\":\"Send to Slack\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.slack\"}],\"connections\":{}}",
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
  "includeTestPlan": true,
  "language": "en"
}
````

### Example output (excerpt)

```markdown
## Workflow Audit: Invoice → Slack Notification

### Executive Summary
This workflow receives invoice data via a webhook, processes it in a
function node, and sends a Slack notification. Overall risk level: **medium**.
No error handler is present — a failed Slack call will silently drop the event.

### Quality Score
**4 / 10** — The core logic is sound but the workflow lacks error handling,
retry logic, and any form of logging. Not production-ready as-is.
...
```

***

### Environment variables

Set in **Actor → Settings → Environment variables**:

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | ✅ | Your Anthropic API key — get one at console.anthropic.com |

***

### Limits

- Maximum workflow JSON size: **500 KB**
- Supported platforms: **n8n**, **Make (Integromat)**
- Supported output languages: **DE, EN, FR, ES** (auto-detected or manual)

***

### Local development

```bash
## Install dependencies
npm install

## Type-check only
npm run type-check

## Run with tsx (no build step)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... npm run dev

## Build TypeScript → dist/
npm run build

## Run compiled output
npm start
```

### Deploy to Apify

```bash
npm install -g apify-cli
apify login
apify push --force
```

# Actor input Schema

## `platform` (type: `string`):

Which automation platform did you export from?

## `workflowJson` (type: `string`):

Paste your n8n workflow JSON or Make blueprint JSON here.

## `includeTestPlan` (type: `boolean`):

Include a compact validation checklist in the output

## `language` (type: `string`):

Force a specific output language. If not set, the language is auto-detected from the workflow content.

## `model` (type: `string`):

Which Claude model to use for the audit. Sonnet produces more nuanced reports; Haiku is faster and cheaper.

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "workflowJson": "{\"name\":\"Example Workflow\",\"nodes\":[{\"id\":\"1\",\"name\":\"Webhook\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.webhook\",\"position\":[240,300],\"parameters\":{}},{\"id\":\"2\",\"name\":\"Send Email\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.gmail\",\"position\":[460,300],\"parameters\":{}},{\"id\":\"3\",\"name\":\"Error Trigger\",\"type\":\"n8n-nodes-base.errorTrigger\",\"position\":[240,500],\"parameters\":{}}],\"connections\":{\"Webhook\":{\"main\":[[{\"node\":\"Send Email\",\"type\":\"main\",\"index\":0}]]}},\"active\":true,\"settings\":{}}"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("spqr79/automation-workflow-audit-tool").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
