Integrate n8n with 500+ apps and services

Fetches workflow definitions from within n8n, selecting only the ones that have one or more (configurable) assigned tags and then: Derives a suitable backup filename by reducing the workflow name to a string with alphanumeric characters and no-spaces Note: This isn't bulletproof, but works as long as workflow names aren't too crazy. Determines which workflows need to be backed up based on whether each one: has been modified. (Note: Even repositioning a node counts.) ...or... is new. (Note: Renaming counts as this.) Commits JSON copies of each workflow, as necessary, to a Gitlab repository with a generated, date-stamped commit message. Setup Credentials Create a Gitlab Credentials item and assign it to all Gitlab nodes. Create an n8n Credentials item and assign it to the n8n node Note: This was tested with http://localhost:5678/api/v1 but should work with any reachable n8n instance and API key. Modify these values in the "Globals" Node gitlab_owner - {{your gitlab account}} gitlab_project - {{ your gitlab project name }} gitlab_workflow_path - {{ subdirectory in the project where backup files should be saved/committed }} tags_to_match_for_backup - {{tag(s) to match for backup selection}} *ALERT: According to the n8n node's Filters -> tags field annotations, and API documentation, this supports a CSV list of multiple tags (e.g. tag1,tag2), but the API behavior requires workflows to have all-of the listed tags, not any-of them.* See: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/issues/10348 TL/DR - Don't expect a multiple tag list to be more inclusive. Possible workaround: To match more than one tag value, duplicate the n8n node into multiple single-tag matches, or split and iterate multiple values, and merge the results. Possible Enhancements Make the branch ("Reference") for all the gitlab nodes configurable. Fixed on all as "main" in the template. Add an n8n node to generate an audit and store the output in gitlab along with the backups. Extend the workflow at the end to create a Gitlab release/tag whenever any backup files are actually updated or created.

v1 Helper ℹ️ This workflow is to be run after upgrading to n8n v1. This workflow returns all locations where a node in an active workflow contains a parameter using an expression extension affected by v1 changes. For every location, please check that the workflow still behaves as intended.

Overview This template helps n8n cloud plan users execute all executions to a CSV for easy data analysis. Identify what workflows are generating the most executions or could be optimized. How this workflow works Click "Test Workflow" to manually execute the workflow Open the "Convert to CSV" node to access the binary data of the CSV file Download the CSV file Nodes included: n8n node Convert to File No Operation, do nothing - replace with another Set up steps Import the workflow to your workspace Add your n8n API credential Benefits of Exporting n8n Cloud Executions to CSV Exporting n8n Cloud executions to CSV offers significant advantages for enhancing workflow management and data analysis capabilities. Here are three key benefits: Enhanced Data Analysis: Comprehensive Insights: Exporting execution data allows for in-depth analysis of workflow performance, helping identify bottlenecks and optimize processes. Custom Reporting: CSV files can be easily imported into various data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, or BI software) to create custom reports and visualizations tailored to specific business needs. Improved Workflow Monitoring: Historical Data Review: Accessing historical execution data enables users to track workflow changes and their impacts over time, facilitating better decision-making. Error Tracking and Debugging: By reviewing execution logs, users can quickly identify and address errors or failures, ensuring smoother and more reliable workflow operations. Regulatory Compliance and Auditing: Audit Trails: Keeping a record of all executions provides a clear audit trail, essential for regulatory compliance and internal audits. Data Retention: Exported data ensures that execution records are preserved according to organizational data retention policies, safeguarding against data loss. By leveraging the capabilities of CSV exports, users can gain valuable insights, streamline workflow management, and ensure robust data handling practices, ultimately driving better performance and efficiency in their n8n Cloud operations.

This template is inspired by Save your workflows into a GitHub repository by hikerspath and Back Up Your n8n Workflows To Github by jon-n8n. Basic Retrieve all workflows from an n8n instance and save it on a gitlab project. If the workflow exist, il will only save the changes. Flow What the workflow does : Sets custom parameters Gets workflows Iterates through each workflow one by one Get the file from Gitlab if exists Compare the files as objects (not as strings) Return a status on the workflow Create, Edit or ignore the file depending on the status Return a list of status for each workflow Configuration Select a credential in each Gitlab nodes. Edit the data in node "Globals" : repo.owner : slug of the user or team owning the repo repo.name : slug of the repository repo.branch : branch to commit on repo.path : from root of the repository. Should end with / Comments Error on gitlab nodes will not stop the run but will list the current workflow as error in the results Some fields are ignored to determined if there is changes : updatedAt : should be ignored if only ignores fields are changed globals : it's running information, no need to follow the changes

Description This template creates a nightly backup of all n8n workflows and saves them to a Google Drive folder. Each night, the previous night's backups are moved to an “n8n_old” folder and renamed with the corresponding date. Backups older than a specified age are automatically deleted (this feature is active for 30 days, you can remove it if you don't want the backups to be deleted). Prerequisites Google Drive account and credentials Get from the following link. Link n8n version 1.63.4 or higher N8n api key Guide from the following link. Link A destination folder for backups: “n8n_old” “n8n_backups” (if it doesn't exist, create it) Configuration Update all Google Drive nodes with your credentials. Edit the Schedule Trigger node with the desired time to run the backup. If you want to automatically purge old backups. Edit the “PURGE DAYS” node to specify the age of the backups you want to delete. Enable the “PURGE DAYS” node and the 3 subsequent nodes. Enable the workflow to run on the specified schedule.

Sometimes you want to take a different action in your error workflow based on the data that was flowing through it. This template illustrates how you can do that (more specifically, how you can retrieve the data of a webhook node). How it works Use the 'n8n' node to fetch the data of the failed execution Parse that data to find webhook nodes and extract the data of the one that was executed

If you have multiple users managing workflows, there may come a time where a user “accidentally” turns off a workflow. Or, if you have workflows that automatically turn off other workflows, that code might “accidentally” turn off the wrong one. In either case, here’s a workflow that can attempt to “auto-start” accidentally disabled workflows: How it works: When activated, then every 4 hours, the workflow will search all other workflows that have the auto_resume:true tag present. If any other workflow has auto_resume:true set but is currently turned off, then this workflow will turn it back on. Of course, this watchdog won’t work if the watchdog workflow is turned off. That said, we’ve found this useful in recovering from accidental actions that cause production workflows to be turned off.

How it works: Did you ever miss any errors in your workflow executions? I did! And I usually only realised a few days or weeks later. 🙈 This template attaches a default error workflow to all your active workflows. From now on, you'll receive a notification whenever a workflow errors and you'll have peace of mind again. It runs every night at midnight so you never have to think of this again. Of course, you can also run it manually. Steps to set up: Update the Gmail note with your own email address, or replace it with any other notification mechanism. You can also use Slack, Discord, Telegram or text messages.. Activate the workflow. Relax. Caveats: I did not add any rate limiting, so if you have a workflow that runs very frequently and it errors... well let's say your mailbox will not be a nice place anymore. Ideas for improvement? If you have any suggestions for improvement, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. Enjoy!

This template will create a nightly backup of all your n8n workflows to a Dropbox folder. Each night, the previous night's backups are moved into an "old" folder, and renamed with the date they were taken. Backups over a specified age are deleted. (this is disabled by default for safety until you manually enable and verify it with your own setup) Prerequisites Dropbox account and credentials A destination folder for backups Setup Update all dropbox nodes with your credential Edit the Schedule Trigger node with the desired time to run the backup Edit the DESTINATION FOLDER node to specify the path in dropbox to upload to. This should be a folder and include the trailing / If you want to automatically purge old backups Edit the PURGE DAYS node to specify the age to purge Enable the PURGE DAYS node, and the 3 subsequent nodes Enable the workflow to run on the specified schedule

Do you consistently forget to set a Default Error Workflow when creating new workflows? Then this helper workflow is for you! When activated, this helper workflow will: Scan ALL other workflows every 4 hours Make sure ALL workflows have a default error workflow set (based on what Workflow ID you provide) This helper will SKIP OVER any workflows that have the default_error:false tag set (make sure your default error workflow has the default_error:false tag set, so that you don't end up with recursive loops during errors) Setup Nodes: Once imported, edit the Set Vars node with your default_error_workflow_id value. If you want to change the default_error:false tag to some other tag name, you can do so here as well. You need to update the Set Default Error Workflow node with your PostgreSQL credentials to access the n8n database.

Restore backed up workflows from GitHub to your n8n workspace. This workflow was inspired by this one that lets you back up your n8n workflows to GitHub. It will let you restore your backed up workflows in your workspace, without creating duplicates. In case of issue with your instance, it will save you a lot of time to restore them. How it works It retrieves the workflows saved in a GitHub repository. Then compares these saved workflows with the ones in your n8n workspace based on the name. It will only create them if they don't already exist. Set up steps Open the "Global" node and set your own information (see Configuration below) Click on "Test workflow" It will run through all the workflows in the GitHub repository, check if the name doesn't already exist in your workspace and, in this case, create it. Configuration repo.owner: your GitHub owner name repo.name: your GitHub repository name repo.path: the path within the GitHub repository

Use case n8n workflows can go out of hand when you're automating as much as we do at n8n. We needed a place to document them and keep track of who owns and maintains them. To facilitate this we use this n8n workflow to automatically sync workflows directly to a Notion database if it has the tag sync-to-notion. How to setup Add your n8n api creds Add your Notion creds Create notion database with fields env id as text, isActive (dev) as boolean, URL (dev) as url, Workflow created at as date, Workflow updated at as date, Error workflow setup as boolean (Make sure page is connected) Add tag sync-to-notion to some workflows

Source code, I maintain this worflow here. Usage Guide This workflow backs up all workflows as JSON files named in the [workflow_name].json format. Steps Create GitHub Repository Skip this step if using an existing repository. Add GitHub Credentials In Credentials, add the GitHub credential for the repository owner. Download and Import Workflow Import this workflow into n8n. Set Global Values In the Globals node, set the following: repo.owner: GitHub username of the repository owner. repo.name: Name of the repository for backups. repo.path: Path to the folder within the repository where workflows will be saved. Configure GitHub Nodes Edit each GitHub node in the workflow to use the added credentials. Workflow Logic Each workflow run handles files based on their status: New Workflow If a workflow is new, create a new file in the repository. Unchanged Workflow If the workflow is unchanged, skip to the next item. Changed Workflow If a workflow has changes, update the corresponding file in the repository. Current Limitations / Needs work Name Change of Workflows If a workflow is renamed or deleted in n8n, the old file remains in the repository. Deleted Workflows Deleted workflows in n8n are not removed from the repository.

This workflow will backup your workflows to Github. It uses the public api to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node. It then loops over the data checks in Github to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked it will then update the file on Github if it exists, Create a new file if it doesn't exist and if it's the same it will ignore the file. Config Options repo_owner - Github owner repo_name - Github repository name repo_path - Path within the Github repository >This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node so requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n

Telegram N8N workflow (de)activator What does it do? This workflow helps you to quickly activate or deactivate a workflow through Telegram. Sometimes we are not able to access a PC to resolve an issue if something goes wrong with a workflow. If you, like me, use Telegram to send yourself error reports, you can quickly react in case of urgency. Just by sending '/stop' combined with the name you use for a workflow, you can deactivate a workflow, or reactivate it with '/start'. For example '/stop marketing'. Walkthrough: https://watch.screencastify.com/v/uWQ88gZKj57WTGOOqSW2 (6min) Instructions Create a Telegram API key through botfather (https://t.me/botfather). Add it to the telegram credentials. For the N8N nodes, go to settings in your n8n instance. Then 'n8n API' and 'create an API key'. To ensure that only we can send commands to the bot, we need the chat ID of our DM with our newly created bot. Open the the Telegram trigger and click on 'listen to events'. Go to Telegram and send a direct message to the bot, this will trigger the Telegram node. Go to the filter node and fill in the chat id you want to filter for with the data you got from the test event in the Telegram node. In the first Switch node you can find the commands, in this case it is '/start' and '/stop'. When you send a message to your bot starting with either of those, it will go to the next switch nodes. Next it will check what other word it contains. As an example I have used the words 'marketing' and 'sales', both corresponding to a marketing and sales workflow. The last nodes will either activate or deactivate a workflow.

How it works it will return workflows that have buil-in nodes not of latest version with information of node name, type, current version and latest version for that type Set up steps: You need to have n8n credentials set, you can get n8n API key under settings set your instance base URL in "instance base url" node Disclaimar: Only check build-in nodes, community nodes are not supported

Purpose This workflow allows you to import any workflow from a file or another n8n instance and map the credentials easily. How it works A multi-form setup guides you through the entire process At the beginning you have two options: Upload a workflow file (JSON) Copy workflow from a remote n8n instance If you choose the second option, you get to choose one of your predefined (in the Settings node) remote instances first, then it retrieves a list of all the workflows using the n8n API which you then can choose a workflow from. Now both initial options come together - the workflow file is being processed In parallel all credentials of the current instance are being retrieved using the Execute Command node The next form page enables a mapping of all the credentials used in the workflow. The matching happens between the names (because one workflow can contain different credentials of the same type) of the original credentials and the ones available on the current instance. Every option then shows all available credentials of the same type. In addition the user has always the choice to create a new credential on the fly. For every option which was set to create a new credential, an empty credential is being created on the current instance using the n8n API. An emoji is being appended to the name, which indicates that it needs to be populated. Finally the workflow gets updated with the new credential ID’s and created on the current instance using the n8n API. Then the user gets a message, if the process has succeeded or not. Setup Select your credentials in the nodes which require those Configure your remote instance(s) in the Settings node. (You can skip this step, if you only want to use the File Upload feature) Every instance is defined as object with the keys name, apiKey and baseUrl. Those instances are then wrapped inside an array. You can find an example described within a note on the workflow canvas. How to use Grab the (production) URL of the Form from the first node Open the URL and follow the instructions given in the multi-form Disclaimer Security: Beware, that all credentials are being decrypted and processed within the workflow. Also the API keys to other n8n instances are stored within the workflow. This solution is primarily meant for transferring data between testing environments. For production use consider the n8n enterprise edition which provides a reliable way to deploy workflows between different environments without the need of manual credential mapping.
