Clone n8n Workflows between Instances using n8n API
Overview
The n8n Workflow Cloner is a powerful automation tool designed to copy, sync, and migrate workflows across different n8n instances or projects. Whether you're managing multiple environments (development, staging, production) or organizing workflows within a team, this workflow automates the transfer process, ensuring seamless workflow deployment with minimal manual effort.
By automatically detecting and copying only the missing workflows, this tool helps maintain consistency, improve collaboration, and streamline workflow migration between projects or instances.
How to Use
1️⃣ Set Up API Credentials
Configure API credentials for both source and destination n8n instances.
Ensure the credentials have read and write access to manage workflows.
2️⃣ Select Source & Destination
Update the "GET - Workflows" node to define the source instance.
Set the "CREATE - Workflow" node to specify the destination instance.
3️⃣ Run the Workflow
Click "Test Workflow" to start the transfer.
The system will fetch all workflows from the source, compare them with the destination, and copy any missing workflows.
4️⃣ Change the Destination Project (Optional)
By default, workflows are moved to the "KBB Workflows" project.
Modify the "Filter" node to transfer workflows to a different project.
5️⃣ Monitor & Verify
The Loop Over Items node ensures batch processing for multiple workflows.
Log outputs provide details on transferred workflows and statuses.
