Daily Workflow: Backups to GitHub with Slack Notifications

### Who is this for? This workflow is ideal for n8n self-hosted users, DevOps engineers, and automation developers who want to automatically back up their n8n workflows to GitHub on a regular basis. ### What problem is this workflow solving? Manually backing up n8n workflows can be time-consuming and prone to human error. This workflow automates the backup process, ensuring that all workflows are safely stored in a version-controlled GitHub repository every 24 hours. ### What this workflow does This automation runs daily to back up all workflows from your n8n instance to a specified GitHub repository. Each workflow is saved as a .json file using its unique ID, organized into a folder path defined by repo_path. The workflow is designed to manage memory usage efficiently by recursively calling itself. Once the backup is complete, it optionally sends a Slack notification to confirm success. ### Setup 1. Configure the Config node in the subworkflow to set: - GitHub Repo Owner - GitHub Repo Name - Main folder path (repo_path) 2. Connect your GitHub and (optionally) Slack credentials. 3. Set the workflow to run on a daily cron schedule. 4. Test the workflow manually to confirm the GitHub integration works.
