N8n Credential Transfer & Sync
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly transfer and synchronize n8n credentials between different n8n instances. This workflow streamlines credential management for multi-instance deployments, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort.
About This Workflow
Managing credentials across multiple n8n instances can be a tedious and error-prone process. This powerful workflow automates the transfer of specific credentials from your current n8n instance to any pre-configured target n8n instance. Ideal for development, staging, and production environments, it leverages n8n's own API to securely export selected credentials and create them on the destination instance. Say goodbye to manual copy-pasting of sensitive data and ensure your integrations are consistently configured across all your n8n deployments with ease and confidence.
Key Features
- Seamless Credential Migration: Transfer any specific credential from your current n8n instance to a designated target instance with a simple click.
- Multi-Instance Support: Easily configure and select from a list of predefined n8n instances as transfer destinations.
- Secure API-Driven Transfer: Utilizes n8n's internal API for a robust and secure method of credential export and creation.
- Interactive User Forms: Guides users through the selection of destination instance and the specific credential to be copied.
- Real-time Feedback: Provides clear success or failure notifications upon completion of the transfer.
How To Use
- Configure Target Instances: In the "Settings" node, update the
remoteInstancesarray with thename,apiKey, andbaseUrlfor each n8n instance you wish to transfer credentials to. Ensure the API key has credential creation permissions. - Run the Workflow: Execute the workflow, which will first prompt you to choose the destination instance.
- Select Destination: From the "Choose Instance" form, select the n8n instance where you want to copy the credential.
- Select Credential: A second form, "Choose Credential", will appear, listing all credentials available on your current n8n instance. Select the one you wish to transfer.
- Initiate Transfer: Click "Copy now" to execute the credential creation on the target instance.
- Review Status: The workflow will display a "Success" or "Error" message indicating the outcome of the transfer.
