Restore your workflows from GitHub
Configured with Extract From File, Github, HTTP Request, N8N, and additional nodes. Review the connections and setup before adapting this template.
Node categories in this workflow
- Trigger
- Transform
- Web / API
- Integration
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.
| Node | Category | Type | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| When clicking ‘Test workflow’ | Trigger | Manual Trigger | See node parameters |
| Globals | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Get all files in given path | Web / API | HTTP Request | See node parameters |
| Split the result | Transform | Split Out | See node parameters |
| Get file content from GitHub | Integration | Github | file / get |
| Convert files to JSON | Transform | Extract From File | fromJson |
| Restore n8n Workflows | Integration | N8N | create |
Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- 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.

Workflow notes
Restore from GitHub
Restore from GitHub
This workflow will restore all instance workflows from GitHub backups.
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 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/

Purpose and structure
This folder contains the Restore your workflows from GitHub workflow. Its executable nodes use extractFromFile, github, httpRequest, manualTrigger, n8n, set, splitOut. 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.
