Workflow Templates

How it Works As n8n instances scale, teams often lose track of sub-workflows—who uses them, where they are referenced, and whether they can be safely updated. This leads to inefficiencies like unnecessary copies of workflows or reluctance to modify existing ones. This workflow solves that problem by: Fetching all workflows and identifying which ones execute others. Verifying that referenced subworkflows exist. Building a caller-subworkflow dependency graph for visibility. Automatically tagging sub-workflows based on their parent workflows. Providing a chart visualization to highlight the most-used sub-workflows. Set Up Steps Estimated time: ~10–15 minutes Set up n8n API credentials to allow access to workflows and tags. Replace instance_url with your n8n instance URL. Run the workflow to analyze dependencies and generate the graph. Review and validate assigned tags for sub-workflows. (Optional) Enable pie chart visualization to see the most-used sub-workflows. This workflow is essential for enterprise teams managing large n8n instances, preventing workflow duplication, reducing uncertainty around dependencies, and allowing safe, informed updates to sub-workflows.

++How it Works:++ This RSS reader retrieves links from a Google Sheets file and goes through each link to retrieve the messages that are younger than 3 days, then saves them in a second Google Sheets file and then deletes all older entries in the second Google Sheets file! The retrieval can take a while due to the Google API block prevention, depending on the number of news feeds that were retrieved!==* Detailed Description is in the sticky Notes from the Workflow!*

This n8n workflow template allows you to create a CRUD endpoint that performs the following actions: Create a new record Get a record Get many records Update a record Delete a record This template is connected with Airtable but you can replace the Airtable nodes with anything you need to interact with (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, Notion, Coda...). The template uses the n8n Webhook node setting 'Allow Multiple HTTP Methods' to enable multiple HTTP methods on the same node. Features Just two nodes to create 5 endpoints Use it with Airtable or replace the Airtable nodes for your own customization Add your custom logic exploiting all n8n's possibilities Workflow Steps Webhook node**: exposes the endpoints to get many records and create a new record Webhook (with ID) node**: exposes the endpoints to get, update, and delete a record. Due to a n8n limitation, this endpoint will have an additional code in the path (e.g. https://my.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/580ccc56-f308-4b64-961d-38323501a170/customers/:id). Keep this in mind when using these endpoints in your application Various Airtable nodes**: execute various specific operations to interact with Airtable records Getting Started To deploy and use this template: Import the workflow into your n8n workspace Customize the endpoint paths by tweaking the 'Path' parameters in the 'Webhook' and 'Webhook (with ID)' nodes (currently customers) Set up your Airtable credentials by following this guide and customize the Airtable nodes by selecting your base, table, and the correct fields to update. ...or... replace the Airtable nodes and connect the endpoint to any other service (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, Notion, Coda) How to use the workflow Activate the workflow Connect your app to the endpoints (production URLs) to perform the various operations allowed by the workflow Note that the Webhook nodes have two URLs, one for testing and one for production. The testing URL is activated when you click on 'Test workflow' button and can't be used for production. The production URL is available after you activate the workflow. More info here.

This workflow allows you to filter positive and negative feedback received from a Typeform and insert the data into Google Sheets. Typeform Trigger node: Start the workflow when a new form is submitted via Typeform Set node: Extract the information submitted in typeform IF node: Filter positive and negative reviews (i.e. ratings above or below 3 out of 5). Google Sheets node: Store the positive and negative reviews and ratings in two different sheets for each case.

Creates a new team for a project from webhook form data. When the project is created the current semester is added to it's relation attribute. More info can be found on using this workflow as part of a larger system here.

This workflow will backup your workflows to Github. It uses the public api to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node. It then loops over the data checks in Github to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked it will then update the file on Github if it exists, Create a new file if it doesn't exist and if it's the same it will ignore the file. Config Options repo_owner - Github owner repo_name - Github repository name repo_path - Path within the Github repository >This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node so requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n

This workflow shows how to sum multiple items of data, like you would in Excel or Airtable when summing up the total of a column. It uses a Function node with some javascript to perform the aggregation of numeric data. The first node is simply mock data to avoid needing a credential to run the workflow. The second node actually performs the summation - the javascript has various comments in case you need to edit the JS. For example, to sum multiple items of data. Below is an example of the type of data this workflow can sum - so anything that is in a tabular form (Airtable, GSHeets, Postgres etc).

What Problem Does it Solve This workflow automates the process of finding and collecting job postings from LinkedIn, eliminating the need for manual job searching. It’s designed to save time and ensure you don’t miss out on new opportunities by automatically populating a spreadsheet with key job details. Key Features Automated Data Collection:** The workflow pulls job posts from a LinkedIn search via an RSS feed. Intelligent Data Extraction:** It scrapes the full job description and uses AI to summarize the key benefits and job responsibilities into a concise format. Centralized Database:** All collected and processed information is automatically saved to a Google Sheet, providing a single source of truth for your job search. How It Works The workflow starts when manually triggered. It reads the job posts from a given RSS feed, processing each one individually. For each job, it fetches the full webpage content to extract structured data. This data is then cleaned and passed to an AI model, which generates a brief summary of the job and its benefits. Finally, a new row is either added or updated in a Google Sheet with all the collected details, including the job title, company name, and AI-generated summary. Configuration & Customization This workflow is highly customizable to fit your specific needs. RSS Feed:** To get started, you'll need to provide the RSS feed URL for your desired LinkedIn job search. We can help you set this up. AI Model:** The workflow uses Google Gemini by default, but it can be adjusted to work with other AI platforms. Data Destination:** The output is configured to a Google Sheet, but it can easily be changed to a different platform like Notion or a CRM. AI Prompting:** The AI's instructions are customizable, so you can tailor the output to extract different information or match a specific tone. If you need any help Get In Touch

This n8n workflow is designed to analyze email headers received via a webhook. The workflow splits into two main paths based on the presence of the received and authentication results headers. In the first path, if received headers are present, the workflow extracts IP addresses from these headers and then queries the IP Quality Score API to gather information about the IP addresses, including fraud score, abuse history, organization, and more. Geolocation data is also obtained from the IP-API API. The workflow collects and aggregates this information for each IP address. In the second path, if authentication-results headers are present, the workflow extracts SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication results. It then evaluates these results and sets fields accordingly (e.g., SPF pass/fail/neutral). The paths merge their results, and the workflow responds to the original webhook with the aggregated analysis, including IP information and authentication results. Potential issues during setup include ensuring proper configuration of the webhook calls with header authentication, handling authentication and API keys for the IP Quality Score API, and addressing any discrepancies or errors in the logic nodes, such as handling SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results correctly. Additionally, thorough testing with various email header formats is essential to ensure accurate analysis and response.
