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

None declared. HTTP requests and Code nodes may still need configuration.

Super simple workflow to upload image URLs as attachments in Airtable. Here's the example Airtable database I used for this workflow.

  1. Set up your Airtable database with one text field which contains image URLs, and an attachment field.

  2. In each Airtable node, add your Airtable credentials and connect to the base and table you want to modify.

  3. In the "Get all records with an image URL" node under "Filter by Formula", change the field name from "Image Source URL" to whatever your URL field name is.

  4. In the third node "Update attachment field with images", update the expression with the correct field name for the URL field.

  5. Click "Execute Workflow" and watch the magic happen!

Setup

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