About This Workflow
The n8n Workflow Importer is a comprehensive solution designed to simplify the process of managing and migrating your n8n workflows. This workflow enables you to extract workflow data, export and import credentials securely, and consolidate information from different n8n instances. It intelligently fetches workflows from a specified source instance, processes your credentials, and merges them into a unified output. Ideal for teams working with multiple n8n environments or for migrating your automation infrastructure, this tool ensures a smooth transition and maintains the integrity of your automated processes. Save hours of manual configuration and reduce the risk of errors with this essential workflow utility.
Key Features
- Cross-Instance Workflow Import: Easily transfer workflows between different n8n instances.
- Secure Credential Management: Safely export and import your API keys and authentication tokens.
- Automated Data Merging: Consolidate workflow data and credentials into a single, manageable output.
- Error Handling: Gracefully manages potential issues during the import process with clear error messages.
- Flexible Source Selection: Define and select your source n8n instances for data extraction.
How To Use
- Configure Remote Instances: In the 'Settings' node, provide a JSON array of your n8n instances, each with a
name,apiKey, andbaseUrl. - Select Source Instance: In the 'Choose Instance' node (not fully shown but implied by usage), specify the
Sourcename of the n8n instance from which you want to import workflows. - Determine Workflow Source: The 'Determine Workflow Source' node checks if the source is 'File Upload' (though the primary path here is API-driven).
- Prepare Request Data: This node dynamically finds the configuration for your chosen source instance.
- Get Workflows: The 'Get Workflows' node makes an API call to the specified n8n instance to retrieve the list of workflows.
- Extract from File (Optional/Alternative Path): If workflows are provided as a file upload, the 'Extract from File' node processes them.
- Export and Read Credentials: The workflow exports credentials from your local n8n instance (or a specified one) and then reads them into a processable format.
- Merge Data: The 'Merge' node combines the fetched workflow data and processed credentials.
- Handle Errors: Utilize the 'Error' and 'Error1' completion forms for feedback if workflow retrieval or import fails.
