Automated Workflow Restoration from GitHub
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly restore your n8n workflows directly from a GitHub repository. This workflow automates the process of backing up and retrieving your critical automation configurations.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for backing up and restoring your n8n automation workflows using GitHub as a version-controlled storage. It connects to your GitHub repository, lists all workflow files, retrieves their content, and then intelligently compares them against your existing n8n workflows. Any workflows found in GitHub but not present in your current n8n instance are automatically restored, ensuring you never lose valuable automation configurations. The setup is straightforward, requiring you to specify your GitHub repository details in the 'Globals' node.
Key Features
- Automated GitHub Integration: Seamlessly connects to your GitHub account to access workflow files.
- Intelligent Comparison: Detects and restores only the workflows that are missing from your n8n instance.
- Version Control Ready: Leverages GitHub for secure and version-controlled storage of your workflows.
- Customizable Repository Paths: Easily configure the owner, repository name, and specific folder for workflow storage.
- Simplified Setup: Clear instructions and easily configurable 'Globals' node for quick deployment.
How To Use
- Configure Globals: In the 'Globals' node, update the
repo.owner,repo.name, andrepo.pathvalues to match your GitHub repository details. - Set up Credentials: Ensure you have connected your GitHub and n8n accounts via the respective credential nodes.
- Execute the Workflow: Click the 'execute' button on the 'On clicking 'execute'' node to initiate the restoration process.
- Monitor Execution: Observe the workflow run to see which files are retrieved, compared, and if any workflows are restored.
