Automated n8n Workflow Audit & Export Tool (JSON + Excel)

Stop Auditing Workflows Manually — Automate Your n8n Reports.
This workflow delivers complete visibility across every automation in your n8n instance — instantly, reliably, and without opening the editor.


Purpose of This Workflow

As your automation stack grows, keeping track of workflows becomes time-consuming.
This tool collects key workflow details, applies filters you choose, and returns structured output in clean JSON or a fully formatted Excel report.
It empowers teams to make decisions faster, maintain governance, and document their automation landscape with zero manual effort.


✅ What This Workflow Helps You Do

  • Get a complete overview of every workflow in your n8n instance
  • Quickly identify active vs inactive workflows
  • Understand configuration and structure at a glance
  • Export workflow details for audits, documentation, handovers, or reports
  • Reuse the data in dashboards, admin panels, or integrations

What’s Included in Each Report

This workflow goes beyond simple lists.
It analyzes each workflow and provides detailed metrics such as:

  • Export all worklfow report in Excel to filter according to your need

  • Workflow Name & ID

  • Status (active / inactive)

  • Created and Updated Timestamps

  • Total Number of Nodes

  • Node Type Breakdown, including:

    • Number of HTTP Request nodes
    • Number of AWS S3 nodes
    • Custom / Other node types detected
    • Any specialized integrations used

This helps teams understand not just what exists — but how each workflow is built.


Why It’s Useful

Auditing workflows manually becomes painful as your system scales:

  • Opening each workflow
  • Checking settings
  • Reviewing nodes
  • Counting integrations
  • Copying notes

This workflow eliminates that entire process.
It gives you a clear, automated snapshot of what’s running, how it’s structured, and where each workflow is used — without logging into the editor or performing any manual checks.


How to Use It

Send a request to the Webhook endpoint and define your filters:

  • status = all | active | inactive
  • output = json | excel

The workflow returns a fully processed, filtered report — formatted for your needs.


Configuration Requirements

To run successfully, you will need:

  • Valid n8n API credentials
  • A public URL for generating shareable workflow links
  • An accessible Webhook URL from your environment

Output Options

  • Clean table format ready for stakeholders, clients, or teams

Additional Notes

  • Works great for onboarding, internal reviews, or automation audits
