n8n Workflow Node Version Checker
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automatically scans your n8n instance to identify any workflows containing outdated nodes. It provides a clear summary of which workflows need attention, ensuring your automations are always running on the latest, most secure, and feature-rich node versions.
About This Workflow
Running a complex n8n instance often means managing numerous workflows with various nodes. Over time, nodes can become outdated, potentially leading to missed features, security vulnerabilities, or compatibility issues. This powerful workflow solves that by proactively auditing your entire n8n instance. It systematically retrieves all available node types and their latest versions, then compares them against every node used in your active workflows. The result is a comprehensive report highlighting workflows with outdated nodes, allowing you to prioritize updates and maintain optimal performance and reliability across your automations.
Key Features
- Automated Node Version Audit: Scans all workflows and their constituent nodes to detect outdated versions.
- Instance-Wide Coverage: Checks against the latest node versions available on your specific n8n instance.
- Detailed Outdated Node Report: Pinpoints exactly which nodes in which workflows are not up-to-date.
- Flexible Triggering: Easily run on demand to get an immediate snapshot of your instance's health.
- Customizable Instance URL: Adapt the workflow to connect to any n8n instance URL.
How To Use
- Set Your n8n Instance URL: In the "instance base url" Set node, update the
valuefield forinstanceBaseUrlto your n8n instance's base URL (e.g.,https://your.n8n.cloudorhttp://localhost:5678). Do not include/apior/v1in the URL. - Configure n8n API Credential: Ensure you have an n8n API credential configured. The "get node types" and "get all workflows" nodes use a credential named "n8n account". If you don't have one, create a new "n8n API" credential in your n8n settings and update the credential references in these nodes.
- Choose Workflow Scope (Optional): By default, the workflow checks all workflows. To check a single workflow, disable the "get all workflows" node and enable the "get single workflow" node. Then, configure the "get single workflow" node with the specific
workflowIdyou wish to check. - Run the Workflow: Click "Test workflow" or activate it to execute. The output will show a list of workflows with their outdated nodes.
