RunLookout and Flowlert
Last checked: 18 October 2026.
Flowlert is a monitor for automation workflows. Directory listings describe it as covering n8n, Make and Zapier.
What Flowlert does well
- It covers more than one platform, including Make and Zapier, per its public listing.
- Its listing says it catches silent failures, where a workflow stops running.
- Its listing says there is a free plan with no card needed.
Where RunLookout differs
- Empty run detection. You pick a step, and we alert when a "successful" run produced 0 items at that step.
- Every alert has a short plain-English note you can forward to your client.
- Alerts go to Telegram.
- We only read workflows and run history through the n8n API. We never edit your workflows.
- Price: free for 14 days, then $9 a month for up to 10 client servers, or $19 a month for unlimited servers.
