Customer guide

N8Forge gives you a managed n8n workspace rather than a raw server. Most day-to-day tasks happen from the product dashboards instead of directly through infrastructure tools.

• Your workspace is tied to a tenant record created when you subscribe or onboard. You may have multiple workspaces if you manage separate environments.
• Your runtime (the n8n container) may take a short time to become ready because provisioning runs as background jobs — check the status card to confirm.
• Launching the workspace takes you into the managed n8n editor via SSO. No separate login or password is needed beyond your platform credentials.

• Sign in through the normal platform or partner-branded auth flow using your email and password.
• Open your dashboard — the workspace overview page shows your current workspace and provisioning status at a glance.
• Check provisioning status on the overview card. If it shows "succeeded", your runtime is ready. "Running" or "queued" means setup is still in progress.
• Launch the workspace from the N8NForge dashboard by clicking the "Open" button next to your instance. This opens the managed n8n editor via SSO — no separate credentials needed.

• Add a custom domain from the SaaSForge dashboard to attach branded access to your workspace.
• Select the target instance when adding a domain so it routes to the correct runtime.
• Expect propagation time if DNS changes are required before the domain starts serving traffic.
• Know the boundary: the dashboard records the domain and triggers domain sync, but DNS, SSL, and reverse-proxy routing are managed by the platform admin.

• Template catalog is available from the N8NForge dashboard — browse by category, search by name, or filter by status.
• Installs are tracked in real time. The catalog card updates from "Install" to "Queued" to "Installed" as the scheduler processes the request.
• Featured templates may appear automatically for new workspaces when enabled by the platform.
• Quick search in the catalog header lets you filter templates without reloading the page.

The N8NForge dashboard shows live runtime stats and historical trends for your workspace. Data refreshes automatically every 30 seconds.

• Stat cards at the top show active workflows, total executions, error count, and success rate (color-coded green / amber / red).
• Instance summary on the right panel shows memory, CPU, event loop lag, heap usage, open file descriptors, and the n8n version.
• History bars below the stat cards chart memory and event loop trends over recent data points — hover each bar for the exact value.
• Status badges on the template cards and activity list update in real time as installs and provisioning jobs progress.
• Metrics are collected automatically — no action needed on your part.

• Provisioning activity shows recent lifecycle jobs such as deploys, domain syncs, restarts, and suspends. Each entry includes the job type, status, and timestamp.
• Normal statuses include queued, running, succeeded, failed, and suspended. A succeeded job means the action completed — your workspace should reflect the change.
• Recent changes such as a subscription update, custom domain addition, or admin action may create new provisioning entries automatically.
• Multiple entries for the same action can appear if a previous job failed and was retried — the latest entry reflects the current state.
