Auto-Start Tagged Workflows Using n8n API after Deployment

**Auto Starter** On importing workflows, these will not be auto-started, even if the old version was running. To fix this, we created this workflow that can be run after n8n starts. It fits in our auto-deploy pipeline and modified n8n container that will import workflows, start n8n, and start the tagged workflows. - Start this workflow after n8n starts. - It will get all workflows in the running n8n instance. - If the files have a tag **Auto start**, the workflow will be started. Check our **Export workflows with readable names** workflow for auto-starting workflows after deployment. **Configuration** - You need an **n8n API key** configured.
