🤝 Contribution
Found a useful workflow or created your own? Contributions welcome!
Adding Workflows:
- Export your workflow as JSON from n8n
- Add the file to the
workflows/
directory with a descriptive name - Run
python3 generate_documentation.py
to update documentation - Submit a pull request
Guidelines:
- Use descriptive filenames (e.g.,
slack_notification_system.json
) - Test workflows before contributing
- Remove sensitive data (credentials, URLs, etc.)
🚀 Quick Start
- Clone Repository:
git clone <repo-url>
- Generate Docs:
python3 generate_documentation.py
- Browse Workflows: Open
workflow-documentation.html
- Import & Use: Copy interesting workflows to your n8n instance
⚠️ Important Notes
- Security: All workflows shared as-is - always review before production use
- Credentials: Remove/update API keys, tokens, and sensitive URLs
- Testing: Verify workflows in safe environment before deployment
- Compatibility: Some workflows may require specific n8n versions or community nodes
📋 Requirements
- For Documentation: Python 3.6+ (no additional packages needed)
- For Workflows: n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
- For Viewing: Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
This automated documentation system makes it easy to discover, understand, and utilize the extensive collection of n8n workflows for your automation needs.
