Seamlessly Clone n8n Workflows Between Instances with API Automation
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly replicate your n8n workflows across different instances using the power of the n8n API. This workflow automates the entire cloning process, saving you valuable time and ensuring consistency.
About This Workflow
This workflow provides a robust solution for duplicating n8n workflows from one instance to another. Leveraging the n8n API, it intelligently fetches existing workflows, identifies unique ones, and then creates them in your target n8n environment. It handles the complexities of workflow structure, including nodes and connections, ensuring a faithful replication. This is an essential tool for managing multiple n8n instances, maintaining development and production environments, or distributing pre-configured workflows to different teams. The process is designed for efficiency and accuracy, minimizing manual intervention and potential errors.
Key Features
- Automated Workflow Fetching: Retrieves all workflows from your source n8n instance.
- Duplicate Detection: Intelligently identifies workflows that do not exist in the destination instance.
- API-Driven Creation: Creates identical workflows in the target n8n instance using its API.
- Configurable Source & Destination: Easily switch between n8n instances by updating credentials.
- Project Integration: Supports transferring workflows into specific projects within the destination instance.
How To Use
- Configure Source n8n Credentials: In the 'GET - Workflows' node, set up the n8n API credential for your source n8n instance.
- Configure Destination n8n Credentials: In the 'CREATE - Workflow' node, set up the n8n API credential for your destination n8n instance.
- Specify Destination Project: In the 'GET - Destination Workflows' node, ensure the n8n API credential points to your destination instance. The 'n8n - GET - Projects' node will retrieve projects from this instance. You may need to manually update the project name in the 'Filter Project' node if it's not automatically found, or modify the
destinationProjectIdin the 'PUT - Workflow in Project' node directly. - Test Workflow: Click the 'Test workflow' button to initiate the cloning process.
- Monitor Execution: Observe the workflow execution to ensure all desired workflows are cloned successfully.
