This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Export Workflows Between n8n Instances Copy workflows between n8n instances — with optional credential export and automatic sub-workflow adjustments. 🧠 How it Works This workflow copies a selected workflow from a SOURCE n8n server to a TARGET server and guides you through safe checks: Name conflict check**: If a workflow with the same name exists on the target the export is stopped. Sub-workflows**: Detects calls to sub-workflows. If all sub-workflows exist on the target (same names), references are auto-updated and the export continues. If any are missing, the form shows what’s missing and lets you cancel or proceed anyway. Credentials**: Detects nodes using credentials and lets you export those credentials along with the workflow. The workflow can only apply credential corrections for the credentials that you choose to export with it. At the end, the form lists which credentials were successfully exported. 💡 For in-depth behavior and edge cases, see the Notes inside the workflow (Setup, How It Works, and Credential Issues). 🚀 How to Use Run this workflow on your SOURCE server. Follow the step-by-step form: pick the workflow to export, choose whether to include credentials, and review sub-workflow checks. Done. ⚙️ Setup Create an n8n API key on both servers (SOURCE and TARGET). On the SOURCE server, create two n8n API credentials in n8n: one for SOURCE and one for TARGET (using the respective base URL and key). Configure the nodes in this workflow with these two credentials. Detailed step-by-step instructions are available in the workflow notes. ✅ Once configured, you’ll be ready to migrate workflows between servers in just a few clicks.
