This repository provides a comprehensive catalog of n8n automation workflows, addressing the challenge of managing and documenting a large number of pre-built integrations. It targets n8n users seeking to quickly deploy and integrate various services, offering a structured approach to workflow management and promoting secure operational practices. The primary benefit is accelerated automation setup and improved integration governance.

How It Works

The project organizes numerous n8n workflow JSON files, emphasizing professional documentation with Markdown, code blocks, and Mermaid diagrams. A core feature is the doc_builder.py script, which automates the generation of detailed workflow descriptions by parsing node, credential, and trigger information. This approach aims to maintain documentation accuracy for a vast workflow collection and promotes best practices for security, including credential management, environment variables, approval gates, kill-switches, and idempotency. Workflows are also batched into batch-1 and batch-2 for enhanced manageability.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: Import .json workflow files into n8n using the "Import from File" feature.
• Prerequisites: Requires n8n (current version recommended), necessary API credentials for integrated services (e.g., Slack, Stripe, Gmail, GitHub), network access for webhooks, and configuration of environment variables via a .env file.
• Links: No direct links to quick-start guides or demos are provided.

Highlighted Details

• Features an extensive catalog of over 2000 n8n workflow files covering a wide array of services like Slack, Stripe, Google Workspace, GitHub, and more.
• Includes a Python script (doc_builder.py) for automated generation of detailed workflow documentation, including node types, credentials, and triggers.
• Strong emphasis on security best practices, such as secure credential management, use of environment variables, approval gates, kill-switches, and idempotency.
• Workflows are organized into two batches (batch-1, batch-2) to facilitate management, secret scanning, and CI processes.

Maintenance & Community

No specific details on contributors, sponsorships, or community channels (Discord/Slack) are provided. The roadmap outlines a versioning strategy (v1.0, v1.1..vN) for incrementally adding workflow details in batches, with an offer to prioritize specific workflow documentation upon request.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: No explicit license is currently attached; a recommendation is made to add a suitable license file (e.g., MIT).
• Compatibility: Users are advised to separately evaluate compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS) for corporate use.

Limitations & Caveats

The documentation serves as a framework; detailed workflow descriptions are generated in batches and are still being expanded. No explicit license is provided, requiring users to add one. Past issues with hard-coded secrets are highlighted, necessitating careful sanitization and management of API keys.
