This workflow restores all n8n instance workflows from GitHub backups using the n8n API node. It complements the Backup Your Workflows to GitHub template by allowing users to seamlessly restore previously saved workflows. How It Works The workflow fetches workflows stored in a GitHub repository and imports them into your n8n instance. Setup Instructions To configure the workflow, update the Globals node with the following values: repo.owner** – Your GitHub username repo.name** – The name of your GitHub repository storing the workflows repo.path** – The folder path within the repository where workflows are stored For example, if your GitHub username is john-doe, your repository is named n8n-backups, and workflows are stored in a workflows/ folder, you would set: repo.owner → john-doe repo.name → n8n-backups repo.path → workflows/ Required Credentials GitHub API** – Access to your repository n8n API** – To import workflows into your n8n instance Who Is This For? This template is ideal for users who want to restore their workflows from GitHub backups, ensuring easy migration and recovery in case of data loss. Check out my other templates: 👉 My n8n Templates

Automatically detect new n8n releases (stable or beta) from GitHub, update Coolify environment variables, and trigger deployments. Functionality This workflow automates deployment of n8n releases to a Coolify instance. It supports two tracks: Beta Releases: Checks GitHub every minute for prereleases, filters duplicates, updates the N8N_VERSION environment variable, and deploys. Stable Releases (disabled by default): Checks the latest stable release hourly and deploys. Key Features: Deduplication**: Ensures no repeated deployments for the same release. Version Parsing**: Extracts the semantic version (e.g., 1.34.0) from GitHub release names. Coolify Integration**: Updates environment variables and triggers deployments via API. Expected Outcomes New n8n beta/stable releases detected via GitHub API. Coolify environment variable N8N_VERSION updated to the latest version. Automatic deployment triggered in Coolify. Setup Guide Replace Placeholders: Update m8ccg8k44coogsk84swk8kgs in the Update ENV and Deploy nodes with your Coolify Application UUID. Configure Credentials: Add Coolify API credentials (httpHeaderAuth) with a valid API token in the headers. Enable Triggers: Toggle the Auto Update Latest Release node if stable releases are desired. Adjust schedule intervals as needed. Test: Run the workflow manually to validate API connections and version parsing. SEO Keywords Automated Deployment, n8n CI/CD, Coolify Integration, GitHub Release Monitoring, Environment Variable Management, Beta Release Automation.

How it works This workflow changes the file name, and therefore the extension and MIME type, of any binary file passed to it. This is perfect for converting file formats on the fly, like turning a Telegram voice message (.oga) into an MP3 for an AI transcription service. Set New File Name: The SET OUTPUT FILE NAME node is where you define the desired output file name and extension (e.g., audio.mp3). It also dynamically captures the property name of the incoming binary (e.g., data). Extract Binary Data: The workflow temporarily converts the binary file into a Base64 text string to make it accessible in the next step. Rebuild Binary with New Name: A Code node takes the Base64 data and reconstructs it as a binary file, but this time, it assigns the new file name you specified. n8n automatically sets the MIME type based on the new file extension. Set up steps Setup time: < 1 minute This workflow is designed to be used as a sub-workflow. In your main workflow, add an Execute Sub-Workflow node where you need to change a file's type. In the Workflow parameter, select this "Change Binary MimeType/Extension" workflow. Open this workflow and go to the SET OUTPUT FILE NAME node. Modify the output_file_name value to your desired file name (e.g., voice_message.mp3 or document.pdf). Save this workflow. Now, any binary file you send to it from your main workflow will be returned with the new fileName and mimeType.

Overview This workflow provides Retell agent builders with a simple way to populate dynamic variables using n8n. The workflow fetches user information from a Google Sheet based on the phone number and sends it back to Retell. It is based on Retell's Inbound Webhook Call. Retell is a service that lets you create Voice Agents that handle voice calls simply, based on a prompt or using a conversational flow builder. Who is it for For builders of Retell's Voice Agents who want to make their agents more personalized. Prerequisites Have a Retell AI Account Create a Retell agent Purchase a phone number and associate it with your agent Create a Google Sheets - for example, make a copy of this one. Your Google Sheet must have at least one column with the phone number. The remaining columns will be used to populate your Retell agent’s dynamic variables. All fields are returned as strings to Retell (variables are replaced as text) How it works The webhook call is received from Retell. We filter the call using their whitelisted IP address. It extracts data from the webhook call and uses it to retrieve the user from Google Sheets. It formats the data in the response to match Retell's expected format. Retell uses this data to replace dynamic variables in the prompts. How to use it See the description for screenshots! Set the webhook name (keep it as POST). Copy the Webhook URL (e.g., https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/retell-dynamic-variables) and paste it into Retell's interface. Navigate to "Phone Numbers", click on the phone number, and enable "Add an inbound webhook". In your prompt (e.g., "welcome message"), use the variable with this syntax: {{variable_name}} (see Retell's documentation). These variables will be dynamically replaced by the data in your Google Sheet. Notes In Google Sheets, the phone number must start with '+. Phone numbers must be formatted like the example: with the +, extension, and no spaces. You can use any database—just replace Google Sheets with your own, making sure to keep the phone number formatting consistent. 👉 Reach out to us if you're interested in analysing your Retell Agent conversations.
