Auto-Start Workflows: Never Miss a Beat
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the startup of your critical n8n workflows. This workflow ensures that any workflow tagged with 'Auto start' is automatically activated after n8n is initialized, preventing manual intervention and downtime.
About This Workflow
The 'Auto-Start Workflows' n8n workflow is designed to seamlessly integrate into your deployment pipeline. When n8n starts up, this workflow is triggered. It then scans all available workflows within the running n8n instance. If a workflow possesses the specific tag 'Auto start', this workflow will automatically activate it, ensuring that your essential automations are running without delay. This is particularly useful for custom n8n containers or after workflow imports where automatic startup might not be enabled by default. It streamlines operations and ensures immediate availability of your automated processes.
Key Features
- Automated Workflow Activation: Automatically starts workflows tagged with 'Auto start'.
- Post-n8n Startup Integration: Designed to run immediately after n8n initialization.
- Customizable Tagging: Leverages the 'Auto start' tag for clear intent.
- Streamlined Deployment: Fits perfectly within auto-deploy pipelines for continuous operation.
- Centralized Control: Manages startup behavior from a single, dedicated workflow.
How To Use
- Import the Workflow: Add this JSON snippet to your n8n instance.
- Configure n8n API Credentials: Ensure you have an n8n API key configured and select it in the 'n8n' and 'n8n1' nodes under 'Credentials'.
- Tag Your Workflows: For any workflow you want to automatically start, add the tag 'Auto start' in its workflow settings.
- Trigger Manually (Initial Setup/Testing): Click the 'Test workflow' button on the 'When clicking ‘Test workflow’' node to run it for the first time or during testing.
- Automate Startup: Configure your n8n environment (e.g., via Docker) to ensure this 'Auto-Start Workflows' workflow runs automatically upon n8n startup.
