Automated Daily n8n Workflow Backup to GitHub

This workflow automates the daily backup of all your n8n workflows to a GitHub repository. Triggered on a schedule, it first lists existing backup files in GitHub, then fetches all current workflows from your n8n instance using the REST API. Each workflow is processed into JSON, base64-encoded, and committed to GitHub with standardized filenames like 'workflow-name-tag.json'. If a file exists, it's updated; otherwise, a new one is created, with timestamps for tracking.

Key benefits include robust version control for workflows, protection against data loss, and easy disaster recovery. It eliminates manual backups, saving time for n8n users managing complex automations. Ideal for teams or individuals relying on n8n for business processes.

Use cases: Development teams versioning workflows, solo automators safeguarding setups, or enterprises ensuring compliance through auditable backups. Prerequisites include n8n API access and GitHub repo setup for seamless integration.
