Automate n8n Workflow Backups to GitLab by User

Securely back up and version control your n8n workflows by storing them in a GitLab repository, organized by username. This workflow supports both manual and scheduled weekly backups, ensuring your workflows are always up-to-date.

This workflow automates the process of backing up n8n workflows to a GitLab repository. It retrieves workflows from n8n, prepares metadata for organization by user, formats them for GitLab, and handles file creation or updates in the repository. The workflow includes rate limit management and sends a confirmation email upon successful backup. It is designed to be triggered manually or on a weekly schedule, providing flexibility and reliability in maintaining workflow backups.
