Integrate n8n with 500+ apps and services

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.

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.

How it works Weekly triggered Fetches all previous executions of a given workflow Filter for failures and aggregate them into a single report Sends them to a given Telegram chat. Set up steps Create a new N8N api token in the settings panel. Add new N8N credentials in the credentials panel. Add new Telegram credentials in the credentials panel. Select N8N credentials and select the workflow ID in the "Get all previous executions" node. Select Telegram credentials and enter the chat-id in the "Telegram" node.

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

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.

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

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 bart@n8n.io. Enjoy!

This n8n workflow is a fun way to query and search over your credentials on your n8n instance. Good to know Your credentials should remain safe as this workflow does not decrypt or use any decrypted data. Example Usage "Which workflows are using Slack and Google Calendar?" "Which workflows have AI in their name but are not using openAI?" How it works Using the n8n API, it fetches all workflow data on the instance. Workflow data contains references to credentials used so this will be extracted. With some necessary reformatting, the workflows and their credentials metadata are stored to a SQLite database. Next, an AI agent is used with a custom SQL tool that reads the SQLite database created in the previous step. The AI agent is instructed to perform SQL queries against our workflow credential table when asked about credentials by the user. Requirements You'll need an n8n API key. Please note that only workflows will be scoped to your API key. Customising the workflow Add extra table fields to the SQLite database to answer even more complex queries such as: workflow status to differentiate between active and inactive workflows.

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

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.

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 from v 1.63.4 to 1.70.1 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.

This is an add-on for the template Check if workflows contain build-in nodes that are not of the latest version Purpose This workflow highlights outdated nodes within all workflows of a single n8n instance and places an updated preconfigured node right next to it, so it can be swapped easily. How it works The parent workflow checks the entire n8n instance for outdated nodes within all workflows and passes a list of those alongside some metadata to this workflow This workflow then processes that data and updates the affected workflows Outdated nodes are renamed by prepending an emoji (default: ⚠️) - this is also used for future checks to prevent from double-processing The latest version of each outdated node is added to the workflow canvas (not wired up) behind the old one, slightly shifted in position An Email is sent with a list of modified workflows In the settings it is possible to define: which symbol/emoji should be prepended to outdated notes whether to include only major node updates or all of them whether to add the new nodes to the canvas or not Setup Clone this template to your n8n instance Update the Settings node by setting at least the base URL of your n8n instance Set a recipient in the Gmail node Clone the parent template to your n8n instance and configure it as described in it’s description Add an “Execute Workflow” node to the end of the parent workflow and configure it, so it calls this workflow How to use Execute the parent workflow and check your Email Inbox. All linked workflows should contain one or more updated nodes with an emoji prepended to their names. Disclaimer Beware, that major updates can cause migrations of nodes to fail, since their structure can differ. So always compare the old nodes with the newly created, if all parameters still meet the requirements. Be careful when executing this workflow on a production environment, since it directly modifies your workflows. It is advisable to run this on your testing environment and migrate successfully tested workflows to your production environment using git or manually.

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.

Automate Report Generation with n8n & Qualys Introducing the Save Qualys Reports to TheHive Workflow—a robust solution designed to automate the retrieval and storage of Qualys reports in TheHive. This workflow fetches reports from Qualys, filters out already processed reports, and creates cases in TheHive for the new reports. It runs every hour to ensure continuous monitoring and up-to-date vulnerability management, making it ideal for Security Operations Centers (SOCs). How It Works: Set Global Variables:** Initializes necessary global variables like base_url and newtimestamp. This step ensures that the workflow operates with the correct configuration and up-to-date timestamps. Ensure to change the Global Variables to match your environment. Fetch Reports from Qualys:** Sends a GET request to the Qualys API to retrieve finished reports. Automating this step ensures timely updates and consistent data retrieval. Convert XML to JSON:** Converts the XML response to JSON format for easier data manipulation. This transformation simplifies further processing and integration into TheHive. Filter Reports:** Checks if the reports have already been processed using their creation timestamps. This filtering ensures that only new reports are handled, avoiding duplicates. Process Each Report:** Loops through the list of new reports, ensuring each is processed individually. This step-by-step handling prevents issues related to bulk processing and improves reliability. Create Case in TheHive:** Generates a new case in TheHive for each report, serving as a container for the report data. Automating case creation improves efficiency and ensures that all relevant data is captured. Download and Attach Report:** Downloads the report from Qualys and attaches it to the respective case in TheHive. This automation ensures that all data is properly archived and easily accessible for review. Get Started: Ensure your Qualys and TheHive integrations are properly set up.

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.

Automated Execution Pruning This workflow is designed to help you manage and optimize your n8n instance by automatically pruning old workflow executions, ensuring a cleaner environment and improved performance. You can customize the retention period to suit your needs. Key Features: Configurable Retention Period: The workflow is preconfigured to delete workflow executions older than 10 days. You can easily adjust this duration by modifying the condition in the If node. Daily Automation: Using the Schedule Trigger, the workflow runs daily at the specified time (default: 4:44 AM), retrieving all workflow executions and identifying those that are older than the defined retention period. On-Demand Testing: The Manual Trigger allows you to test the workflow at any time, ensuring everything is working as expected. Decision Making: The If node evaluates each execution based on its start date and determines whether it should be deleted or retained. Execution Pruning: Delete Action: Executions meeting the criteria are removed via the Delete Execution node. No-Operation: Executions that don't meet the criteria remain untouched. Workflow Nodes: Manual Trigger: Enables on-demand testing of the workflow. Schedule Trigger: Runs the workflow daily at the configured time. n8n List Execution: Fetches all executions in your n8n instance. If Node: Compares the execution's start date with the configured retention period. Delete Execution: Deletes executions older than the specified retention period. No Operation: Serves as a placeholder for executions that don't meet the pruning criteria. How to Customize: Retention Period**: Update the If node's condition to modify the retention period. For instance, change 10 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 to the desired number of days in milliseconds. Schedule**: Adjust the timing of the Schedule Trigger to match your preferred automation schedule. This workflow ensures your instance remains efficient by keeping only the relevant execution logs. Use it to maintain a streamlined and clutter-free environment effortlessly.

Based on Jonathan's work. Check out his templates. How it works This workflow will backup your workflows to GitHub. It uses the n8n API node to export all workflows. It then loops over the data, checks in GitHub to see if a file exists that uses the credential's ID. Once checked it will: update the file on GitHub if it exists; create a new file if it doesn't exist; ignore if it's the same. Who is this for? People wanting to backup their workflows outside the server for safety purposes or to migrate to another server. Check out my other templates 👉 https://n8n.io/creators/solomon/

Check Online Version ! [https://n8n-tools.streamlit.app/](https://n8n-tools.streamlit.app/ ) Who is it for? This workflow is perfect for n8n users who want to maintain clean and organized workflows without manually repositioning nodes. Whether you're building complex workflows or sharing them with a team, maintaining visual clarity is essential for efficiency and collaboration. This template automates the positioning process, saving time and ensuring consistent layout standards. How does it work? The template is divided into two parts: Positioning Engine: A webhook node kicks off the process by receiving a workflow ID. Using the provided workflow ID, an n8n API node fetches the workflow details. The fetched workflow is sent to a processing webhook that calculates optimized positions for the nodes. Finally, an n8n API node updates the workflow with the newly positioned nodes, ensuring a clean and professional layout. Reusable Positioning Block: This is an HTTP Request node that can be seamlessly integrated into any workflow you create. When triggered, it sends the current workflow for automatic positioning via the first part of this template. How to set it up? Enable n8n API Access: Ensure that your n8n instance has API access enabled with the appropriate credentials. Input Your n8n API URL and Credentials: Open the template, locate the n8n API nodes, and update them with your instance API key. Update the URL of the 'Magic Positioning' Http Request node to point to your n8n instance webhook URL. Embed the Reusable Block: Add the provided HTTP Request node to any of your workflows to instantly connect to the auto-positioning engine.
