How it works
This workflow automates the restoration of n8n workflows from a GitHub repository into your n8n instance. It starts by fetching all workflow files from a specified path within a GitHub repository using the GitHub - get all files and GitHub - get each file nodes. The content of these files, which are typically base64 encoded, is decoded in the Set name and content node. Simultaneously, it retrieves a list of all existing workflows within your n8n instance using the n8n - get all workflows node. The Merge Github and n8n workflows - Keep only non existing workflows based on the name node then compares the GitHub files with the existing n8n workflows, identifying only those that do not yet exist in your n8n workspace. Finally, for each unique workflow identified, the n8n - create workflow node is used to create it in your n8n instance.
Key Features
- Seamlessly restore n8n workflows from GitHub.
- Automatically checks for existing workflows to prevent duplicates.
- Customizable GitHub repository owner, name, and path.
- Handles base64 encoded workflow content.
How To Use
- Configure Globals: In the
