Visualize Your n8n Workflow Dependencies and Automate Tagging
detail.loadingPreview
Gain a clear understanding of your n8n workflow relationships with this powerful template. It automatically generates a dependency graph and intelligently applies tags, simplifying management and optimization.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the complex task of understanding your automation architecture. By fetching all your workflows, it builds a comprehensive dependency graph, revealing which workflows call others. It then filters out workflows that aren't actively used and identifies new callers. Crucially, it intelligently applies tags to workflows based on their callers, making your automation ecosystem easier to navigate, troubleshoot, and maintain. Whether you're managing a growing n8n instance or looking to optimize your existing automations, this template provides invaluable insights and operational efficiency.
Key Features
- Automated Dependency Mapping: Visually understand how your n8n workflows are interconnected.
- Intelligent Auto-Tagging: Dynamically assign tags to workflows based on their invocation patterns.
- Unused Workflow Identification: Easily spot and manage workflows that are no longer being called.
- Streamlined Workflow Management: Improve organization and reduce maintenance overhead.
- n8n API Integration: Leverages the n8n API for robust data retrieval and manipulation.
How To Use
- Connect Your n8n Account: Ensure your n8n API credentials are set up and select them in the 'GET all workflows', 'GET workflow(s)', and 'Update workflow tags' nodes.
- Trigger the Workflow: The workflow is designed to run automatically every Sunday ('And every Sunday' node) or can be manually activated ('When this workflow is activated' node).
- Review the Dependency Graph: The 'List callers of subworkflows' node generates the core dependency data. You can observe the results to understand caller-subworkflow relationships.
- Observe Auto-Tagging: The 'Update workflow tags' node will apply tags to your workflows based on the analysis.
- Customize Logic (Optional): Modify the JavaScript code in the 'List callers of subworkflows' node to refine how dependencies are identified or to adjust the tagging strategy.
