Automated GitLab Backup of n8n Workflows with Username Organization
Backs up self-hosted n8n workflows to GitLab repo, organized by username folders. Supports manual/weekly triggers, detects changes, updates files, and sends email confirmations.
This workflow automates the secure backup and version control of self-hosted n8n workflows by integrating with GitLab repositories. It fetches all workflows via the n8n API, generates metadata including user details for folder organization (e.g., repo/username/workflow.json), and processes each workflow individually. It checks for differences against existing GitLab files, creates new ones if missing, updates them when changes are detected, and handles API rate limits for reliability. Backups ca
