Dependency pill clicks now tracked in telemetry
n8n's editor now captures which dependency items users click in the dropdown, adding click-level detail to existing open events.
The n8n editor can already log when users open the dependency pill dropdown. What it couldn't show was which specific dependencies users navigated to once inside. A new telemetry event changes that.
Now when a user clicks a dependency item, the system records the source card type, the dependency type selected, and how many dependencies exist in total. This data builds a picture of dependency usage patterns—who's using which integrations, and how often.
The telemetry captures clicks at the point of selection, joining existing data about dropdown opens. For teams analyzing workflow patterns, the difference is meaningful: they can now see not just that a user explored dependencies, but which ones they actually chose.
The change lives in the editor UI's dependency pill component and sends the new event alongside the existing navigation logic.
