When should I trigger this skill?

Use it whenever you are developing or reviewing a workflow JSON file and want to check its structure, syntax, or best practices before deployment.

Can it detect data type errors in Power Automate expressions?

Absolutely. It verifies consistency between source data types and expression usage, such as checking item() vs item()?['Property'] in loops and filters.

Does it check for hardcoded credentials?

Yes, the validator performs a security check to identify hardcoded passwords, API keys, and connection strings, recommending parameterized connections instead.

Which platforms are supported by the Automation Validator?

It supports Power Automate, n8n, Make (formerly Integromat), Zapier, and other general JSON-based workflow platforms.

How does it help with API throttling?

It analyzes connector-specific limits (like SharePoint or OneDrive) and warns you if your workflow logic risks hitting 429 errors, suggesting delays or concurrency settings.

Security & Testing

Validates and audits automation workflow JSON files for Power Automate, n8n, Make, and Zapier to ensure deployment readiness.

Automation Workflow Validator is a comprehensive pre-deployment tool designed to audit JSON-based automation definitions across major platforms like Power Automate, n8n, and Make. It identifies syntax errors, schema violations, and logic gaps while enforcing best practices for error handling, performance optimization, and security. By analyzing expression syntax, data type consistency, and connector-specific limitations, this skill helps developers avoid common runtime failures and throttling issues before importing workflows into their production environments.

Key Features

01Connector-specific performance recommendations to avoid API throttling.

02Security auditing to detect hardcoded credentials and injection risks.

031 GitHub stars

04Multi-platform support for Power Automate, n8n, Make, and Zapier.

05Advanced data type consistency checks for loops and filter actions.

06In-depth syntax and schema validation for workflow JSON files.

Use Cases

01Pre-deployment linting of Power Automate flows before importing to a new environment.

02Debugging data structure mismatches in complex n8n or Make scenarios.

03Auditing third-party automation JSON for security vulnerabilities and hardcoded keys.
