Overview
This workflow automates the process of backing up your n8n workflows into a GitHub repository. By triggering on demand, it collects workflow data and ensures your automation assets are securely versioned and stored.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate the backup process with a single click.
- Data Aggregation: Gathers all relevant n8n workflow data for export.
- GitHub Integration: Uses GitHub API to push workflow files, ensuring version control and easy collaboration.
- Change Detection: Compares current workflows with repository versions to identify new, changed, or unchanged items.
- Conditional Logic: Employs switches and merges to handle different workflow states (new, same, different).
Benefits
- Automated Version Control: Eliminates manual exports and uploads, reducing errors and saving time.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Centralizes workflow management, making it easier for teams to collaborate and track changes.
- Disaster Recovery: Ensures workflows are safely backed up and can be restored if needed.
Use Cases
- Teams managing complex n8n automations who require robust backup and versioning.
- Developers seeking to integrate workflow management into their CI/CD pipelines.
- Organizations needing audit trails for workflow changes.
Integrations & Processes
- n8n: Source of workflow data.
- GitHub: Destination for versioned backups via API.
- HTTP Requests & Functions: Facilitate data transformation and communication between services.
