Why?
Have you ever updated your n8n instance, or moved from one instance to the other and lost all your workflows? I suggest NOT DOING THAT! Especially if you have very complex workflows that would take days to recreate.
Make sure you have a backup process in place!
How it works
1. Get all workflows from an n8n instance using your n8n API 2. Formats the workflows cleanly 3. Creates a backup package 4. Checks if target GitHub repository exists, if not creates it 5. Uploads a manifest 6. Uploads a readme 7. Uploads your workflows as separate JSON files 8. Sends a summary to your choice (Telegram or GMAIL)
What it does - Backs up all your workflows - Splits them out into separate JSON files for each workflow - Sends a notification
What it doesn't do
- Does not back up credentials (not smart for security reasons) - Does not delete old backups
