That n8n workflow you perfected in testing? There's a 97% chance it will break in a live production environment. 😨 We're revealing the 4-step framework pros use to build bulletproof automation systems that don't fail when they matter most.

We’ll talk about:

• The 4 pillars of production-grade n8n workflows: Security, Retries & Fallbacks, Centralized Error Handling, and Version Control.
• The massive security risk of default webhooks and the two-minute "Header Auth" fix that is non-negotiable for any live workflow.
• How to build resilient API calls with smart retry mechanisms and professional fallback logic so your workflow never dies silently.
• A step-by-step guide to building a centralized error-handling system with the Error Trigger node that logs every failure to a Google Sheet.
• The simple, manual version control habit (downloading JSON backups) that will save you from nightmare-inducing, irreversible mistakes.
