n8n version 2.34.0, released on August 4, 2026, brings a wave of enhancements focused on reliability, AI-powered automation, and expanded API support. On the core side, the platform now handles large webhook responses more gracefully in scaling mode by offloading them to storage, and the task broker is more resilient when a runner dies. Queue mode executions now emit OpenTelemetry spans, and enqueued executions are recovered after a restart. The reconciliation loop has been improved to detect and heal trigger-status drift, and leader takeover is converged through this loop, reducing operational headaches. For AI workflows, the update ensures AI-created workflows default to v1 execution order, and the AI builder now verifies approval-loop branches with scripted gate decisions. Agent-related telemetry is consolidated, and agent creation now happens on first configuration rather than on click, simplifying setup.
Several nodes received important fixes and new capabilities. The AWS Bedrock Chat Model node now enables TCP keepalive on runtime connections, and the Embeddings AWS Bedrock node adds inference profile models. Slack integrations gained the groups:write OAuth scope for private channel actions and show user real names in pickers. The Notion node now requires a title for database page creation in v3. The Form node skips parent nodes without run data when returning binary from form ending. In the HTTP Request Tool node, error response bodies are passed to the model for better AI handling. The Grist node restores the stored base URL for legacy credentials. Additionally, the Cal.com Trigger node fully migrates to API v2, and the Brandfetch node uses explicit route types. Google Vertex Chat Model now preserves Gemini thought signatures on single tool calls. A new Simplified Custom Auth generic credential was added for HTTP Request nodes, and Snowflake connections are properly released when a statement fails.
The editor receives substantial attention with usability tweaks and new features. A configurable origin allowlist was introduced for postMessage handling, improving embedded scenarios. OAuth flows won’t fail when the provider’s COOP policy makes the popup read as closed, and Save is now enabled when switching auth methods to clear stale OAuth state. Credential management gets a guided setup view for Simplified Custom Auth, and credentials created from the agent builder are properly placed in the agent’s project. The new workflow review system is now URL-addressable with deep-linkable reviews, and the latest review state is shown in the canvas header. Publishing a workflow is blocked while its review is open, and auto-publish on approval streamlines collaboration. The trial intro modal experiment and a tooltip for the executions quota on the trial banner were added. Other additions include OIDC RP-initiated logout (opt-in), per-agent MCP access management, and the ability to show and change the target workflow of an agent workflow tool.
Under the hood, security and extensibility are bolstered. Public API endpoints for LDAP and OIDC SSO configuration are now available. n8n user auth (OAuth2) mode for webhook nodes allows granular access control, and per-trigger OAuth protected resources are registered for webhook triggers. The default condition for SSO role mapping is now configurable, and deletion of the default role is blocked to prevent misconfiguration. Two new AWS regions (ap-east-2 and ap-southeast-6) are supported. Performance sees a boost with O(1) schema lookup in resource-mapper value validation and the un-gating of skipped persistence for discarded executions. A convenient one-script Docker Compose setup via get.n8n.io simplifies initial deployment.
