Workflow Templates

Overview This workflow automates the backup of all workflows from your system to a Git repository hosted on Gitea. It runs on a scheduled trigger, fetching, encoding, and committing workflow data, ensuring seamless version control and disaster recovery. 📌 Quick Setup: Just update three global variables and configure authentication—no manual exports needed! How It Works (Quick Glance) 1️⃣ Scheduled Execution → Runs automatically at defined intervals. 2️⃣ Fetch Workflows → Uses the API to retrieve all workflows. 3️⃣ Process Workflows → Converts workflow data into a Git-friendly format. 4️⃣ Commit & Push to Git → Saves workflows in a Gitea repository. Setup Steps (⚡ Takes ~5 min) 1️⃣ Set Global Variables Go to the Globals section in the workflow and update: repo.url* → https://your-gitea-instance.com *(Replace with your actual Gitea URL) repo.name* → workflows *(Repository name where backups will be stored) repo.owner* → octoleo *(Gitea account that owns the repository) 📌 These three variables define where the workflows are stored. 2️⃣ Configure Gitea Authentication Go to your Gitea account* → Generate a *Personal Access Token** In the credential manager, create a new Gitea Token with: Name:** Authorization Value:** Bearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN 📌 Ensure there is a space after Bearer before the token! 3️⃣ Link Credentials to Git Nodes Attach the Gitea credentials to these three Git nodes: GetGitea** → Retrieves existing repository data PutGitea** → Updates workflows PostGitea** → Adds new workflows 4️⃣ Link Credentials for API Requests Add API authentication** in the node that fetches all workflows. 5️⃣ Test & Activate Run the workflow manually** to confirm backups work. Enable the schedule trigger for automation. 📌 The workflow automatically checks for changes before committing updates. Why Use This Workflow? ✅ Automated Backups → No manual exports needed. ✅ Version Control → Easily track workflow changes. ✅ Simple Setup → Just configure globals & credentials. ✅ Secure → Uses token-based authentication.

👤 Who is this for? This workflow is great for n8n users who want to prevent duplicate or overlapping workflow runs. If you're a developer, DevOps engineer, or automation enthusiast managing tasks like database updates, syncing tools, or hitting rate-limited APIs, this one’s for you. 🧩 What problem does this solve? In the real world, automations can get triggered at the same time—whether that’s because of multiple webhook calls, overlapping schedules, or retries. And when two workflows try to do the same thing at once (like updating a record or syncing data), it can cause conflicts, data corruption, or wasted API calls. This workflow helps avoid that problem by using Redis as a lock system, so only one instance runs at a time. Think of it like putting up a “🚧 Workflow in Progress” sign while your logic is running. ⚙️ What this workflow does When the workflow starts, it tries to set a Redis key as a lock with a short expiry. If the lock is free: Your main business logic runs. Once it's done, the lock is cleared. If the lock is already taken (i.e., another run is in progress): The workflow will wait and retry a few times. If a duplicate request shows up while one is already being processed: It skips that duplicate to avoid unnecessary work. You can customize both the timeout and retry logic to match your needs. 🛠️ Setup guide To use this template: You’ll need access to a Redis instance (either self-hosted or managed like Upstash, Redis Cloud, etc). Set up your Redis credentials in the n8n Redis node. Swap out the webhook node with your actual trigger or logic. Adjust the lock timeout to match how long your task typically takes. > 💡 Bonus Tip: Use this pattern wherever you need idempotency or want to avoid duplicate processing. 🧪 Example use case Let’s say you have a workflow that syncs ClickUp tickets to Google Sheets. It runs daily at 9 AM and updates tickets, adds notes, and makes sure nothing is missed. But what if two runs start at the same time? Or someone triggers a manual sync while the scheduled one is still working? By wrapping that whole sync inside this Redis locking template, you can make sure it only runs one at a time, saving your APIs (and your sanity).

This n8n template showcases a cool feature of n8n Forms where the form itself can be defined dynamically using the form fields schema. It may be debateable how useful this template actually is since both Airtable and Baserow provide form interfaces already but still a great exercise and demonstration if ever the use-case comes around. How it works A form trigger is used to dynamically select a database/table from which to build the n8n form from. the table's schema is imported into the workflow and using the code node, is converted into the n8n form fields schema. This let's us dynamically build the fields in our n8n form when we choose to define the form using the JSON option. Once the n8n form submits, we convert the values back into our table's API schema so that we can create a new row. Note any files/attachments fields are removed as they need to be handled separately. Files are processed separately as they may first need to be stored. Once complete, the reference is saved into the newly created row. Check out the example Airtable here - https://airtable.com/appfP15Xd0aVZR9xV/shrGFgXLyQ4Jg58SU How to use The n8n form is autogenerated which means you only need provide access to the table. Using this approach, this template can be reused for any number of Airtable and/or Baserow tables. Requirements You'll need either an Airtable account or a Baserow account to use this template. Accessible n8n instance to your users Customising this workflow Not using either Airtable or Baserow? Theoretically any datastore which provides a fields schema can be used with this template. If you're feeling creative, split the table into multiple forms for a better user experience.
