n8n showed green runs for 23 days and found no new leads

Joshua Pi'Rwot runs a lead finder for his small software business on n8n. It collects LinkedIn profiles by keyword, ranks them, finds and checks an email address, and loads people into a cold email sequence, with n8n's scheduler firing each step twice a day. On October 9 he noticed every run in the history was green, yet nothing new had come out of the last step since mid September. For 23 days the workflow reported success and added nobody. One afternoon he had added a keyword list that only covered six dates, paused one trigger to save email-finder credits and switched off another, with reminders to undo it all later. When the dates ran out, nothing failed, so nothing alerted him.

Meta Muse couldn't fix a suspended Facebook account

Meta suspended the poster's Facebook and Instagram accounts over suspicious activity on a Threads account he says he doesn't use. He asked Meta's Muse, Meta's own agent, for help. After an hour it gave up. He points out that this sounds like the classic job for an agent: talking to a big company's support for you.

PromptMeta suspended my [FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM] account on [DATE] and says it was for [REASON SHOWN]. Find Meta's...

Make sends ClickUp order status to Shopify for a support bot

Yana, posting in the Make Community, runs a shop where custom orders are tracked in ClickUp. Customers kept asking where their order was. She built a Make scenario that watches ClickUp for updates, turns the internal status into a plain message, and writes it into a field on the Shopify order. A chat bot on the store (ZipChat) reads that field, so it can tell customers in simple words where their order stands. Along the way she hit a few traps: an empty dropdown in ClickUp was read as its first option, date-only fields shifted by a day because of time zones, and several quick edits fired several runs. Her fixes were a safe generic message when the status is unknown, using UTC for dates, and a short wait plus a saved token so only the latest update gets written.

PromptI track customer orders in [CLICKUP OR TOOL] and sell on [SHOPIFY]. Help me plan a Make scenario that, when...

Hermes Agent reminder that repeats until you say done

Shared by a member of Nous Research's community team: a Hermes Agent setup for chores you forget, like watering plants or taking the bins out. The agent asks what the reminder is for, when it's due, how often to repeat it and where to send it, then shows you the scheduled job before creating it. The reminder keeps coming back until you reply that it's done. The original prompt also tells Hermes to use a small script for the reminder instead of calling the AI model each time, since the message never changes, which keeps costs down.

PromptSet up one reminder for me that keeps coming back until I say it's done. Ask me one question at a time: what...
