Import n8n Workflows & Map Credentials via Multi-Form

This advanced n8n workflow enables effortless importation of workflows from JSON files or other n8n instances, with automated credential mapping to your current environment. It uses a guided multi-form process: first, select upload from file or fetch from a predefined remote instance via n8n API. Then, process the workflow while fetching all local credentials in parallel using the Execute Command node.

Next, a dynamic form displays credentials used in the imported workflow, matching by name and type. Users can select existing matching credentials, or opt to create new ones on-the-fly—these get an emoji indicator for easy identification and population later. The workflow updates credential IDs accordingly and deploys it via n8n API, providing success/failure feedback.

Benefits include massive time savings in workflow migration, especially for teams managing multiple n8n setups. Use cases: onboarding workflows from clients, syncing across dev/prod environments, or scaling automation libraries. Ideal for developers, IT admins, and BI teams handling complex integrations without manual reconfiguration.
