Workflow Overview
Workflow Importer simplifies the process of importing n8n workflows from files or remote instances, allowing users to seamlessly integrate and manage workflows with 58 automated nodes. It efficiently handles credential mapping, ensuring that all necessary credentials are updated or created as needed, while providing clear feedback on the import status. This tool enhances productivity by streamlining workflow management and reducing manual errors.
This workflow is designed for n8n users who need to import workflows from various sources, whether from file uploads or remote instances. It is particularly beneficial for developers, automation engineers, and teams managing multiple workflows across different environments.
This workflow addresses the challenge of workflow migration and credential management in n8n. It allows users to seamlessly import workflows while ensuring that all necessary credentials are correctly mapped and updated, thus preventing disruptions in automation processes.
- Upload File: Users can upload a workflow JSON file.
- Extract from File: The workflow data is extracted from the uploaded file.
- Export Credentials: Existing credentials are exported to ensure all necessary authentication details are available.
- Get Credentials Data: The exported credentials are read and prepared for mapping.
- Choose Workflow: Users select which workflow they wish to import from a list of available workflows.
- Prepare Request Data: The workflow prepares the necessary request data to fetch workflows from the selected instance.
- Get Workflows: The workflow fetches the list of workflows from the chosen remote instance.
- Split Out Workflows: The fetched workflows are split into manageable pieces for further processing.
- Map Credentials: Users map the credentials from the imported workflow to the existing credentials in their n8n instance.
- Create Workflow: The mapped workflow is created in the current n8n instance, ensuring all credentials are correctly linked.
- Success/Error Handling: Users receive feedback on the import process, indicating success or any issues encountered.
