Automated Workflow Backup and Restore from GitHub
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly back up your n8n workflows to a GitHub repository and restore them with a single click. This automated solution ensures your critical automation logic is always safe and readily available.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for managing your n8n workflow backups and restorations. It leverages the power of GitHub to store your workflow definitions, ensuring version control and offsite storage. The workflow first retrieves all your n8n workflows, then fetches the corresponding backup files from your designated GitHub repository. It intelligently compares the two, identifying workflows that exist in GitHub but not in your current n8n instance. These new workflows are then automatically created within your n8n environment, simplifying disaster recovery and migration processes. Configuration is straightforward, requiring only your GitHub repository details.
Key Features
- Automated Backup & Restore: Streamline the process of saving and retrieving your n8n workflows.
- GitHub Integration: Securely store your workflow definitions in your preferred GitHub repository.
- Smart Comparison: Automatically identifies and restores only those workflows that are missing in your n8n instance.
- Version Control: Benefit from GitHub's inherent version control for your workflow backups.
- Easy Configuration: Simple setup by defining repository owner, name, and workflow path.
How To Use
- Configure Globals: In the 'Globals' node, update the
repo.owner,repo.name, andrepo.pathparameters to match your GitHub repository details where workflows are stored. - Set Up Credentials: Ensure your n8n account has the necessary 'n8n API' credentials and your GitHub account has the 'GitHub account' credentials configured.
- Execute the Workflow: Click the 'execute' button on the manual trigger node to initiate the backup and restore process.
- Monitor Execution: Observe the workflow's progress to ensure all intended backups are fetched and restorations are completed successfully.
