Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.

Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.

How it works

The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.

Setup

  1. Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
  2. Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace REPLACE_WITH_* values with your resource identifiers.
  3. Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
  4. Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.

Requirements

An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.

Credential types declared in the source

  • githubApi
  • n8nApi

Workflow notes

Backup to GitHub

Backup to GitHub

This workflow will backup all instance workflows to GitHub.

The files are saved ID.json for the filename.

Setup

Open Globals node and update the values below 👇

  • repo.owner: your Github username
  • repo.name: the name of your repository
  • repo.path: the folder to use within the repository. If it doesn't exist it will be created.

If your username was john-doe and your repository was called n8n-backups and you wanted the workflows to go into a workflows folder you would set:

  • repo.owner - john-doe
  • repo.name - n8n-backups
  • repo.path - workflows/

The workflow calls itself using a subworkflow, to help reduce memory usage.

n8n and http request and create new file 53093cc6

Purpose and structure

This folder contains the n8n and http request and create new file 53093cc6 workflow. Its executable nodes use code, executeWorkflow, executeWorkflowTrigger, github, httpRequest, if, manualTrigger, merge, n8n, noOp, scheduleTrigger, set, splitInBatches, switch. The table and connection map below are derived from the JSON, not an inferred guarantee of behavior.

Setup

Import inactive. Configure your own credentials and replace REPLACE_WITH_* values. Review external destinations and Code nodes before running.

Entry points

On clicking 'execute', Schedule Trigger, Execute Workflow Trigger

Verification

Sanitized source candidate; not runtime-tested. This overview is generated from node metadata. Read the folder README for the connection map, credential types, and license.
