💾 Backup n8n Workflows to Google Drive (Daily or Manual)
Automates exporting and backing up all n8n workflows to Google Drive in dated folders. Supports manual triggers or daily cron scheduling for risk-free protection.
This workflow fetches all existing n8n workflows via the n8n API, compiles each as a JSON file, creates a new dated folder in Google Drive, and uploads the files. It eliminates manual exports and safeguards automation assets for agencies, developers, and teams.
Benefits include automated daily backups without data loss risk, organized storage by date, and flexible triggering—manual or scheduled. Ideal for maintaining workflow integrity across projects, ensuring quick recovery if issues arise in n8n instances.
Setup is straightforward: connect Google Drive credentials, add n8n API key, configure timezone/scheduling, and optionally set a custom parent folder. Uses nodes like Schedule Trigger, Date & Time, n8n API, Google Drive, Merge, and Set for seamless operation.
Perfect for power users relying on n8n for business automations, providing peace of mind and time savings over manual processes.
