Automatically restore your n8n workflows from a GitHub repository with this powerful automation. Ensure business continuity and easily manage workflow versions by fetching them directly from your code.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of backing up and restoring your n8n workflows from a designated GitHub repository. It intelligently checks for existing workflows to prevent duplicates, ensuring a clean and efficient restoration. By leveraging GitHub as a central source of truth for your workflow definitions, you can gain robust version control and a reliable recovery mechanism.
This workflow is triggered manually and allows you to specify your GitHub repository details, including the owner, name, and the path to your workflow files. It then fetches these workflows, compares them against your current n8n instance, and creates any missing workflows, safeguarding your automation infrastructure.
Key Features
- Automated GitHub Integration: Seamlessly connect to your GitHub repository to access workflow files.
- Duplicate Prevention: Intelligently identifies and skips workflows that already exist in your n8n instance.
- Configurable Repository Settings: Easily define your GitHub owner, repository name, and workflow path.
- Version Control Readiness: Utilize GitHub for robust versioning of your n8n workflows.
- Manual Trigger for Control: Initiate the restoration process on demand for full control.
