Synchronize n8n Workflows Across Instances Automatically
Automate the transfer and synchronization of n8n workflows between instances, reducing manual migration time by up to 90% and eliminating configuration discrepancies.
Manually migrating or synchronizing n8n workflows across different instances is a tedious and error-prone process. This workflow automates the cloning of existing workflows from a source n8n instance to a destination, ensuring configuration consistency and drastically reducing administrative overhead.

Synchronize n8n Workflows Between Instances
This powerful workflow solves the challenge of migrating or replicating n8n workflows across different n8n environments, such as development, staging, and production instances. It enables seamless propagation of workflow changes and configurations, maintaining consistency and accelerating deployment cycles.
Key Features
- Automate the cloning of selected workflows from a source n8n instance to a target n8n instance.
- Intelligently identify and only transfer workflows that do not already exist in the destination, preventing duplicates.
- Effortlessly assign newly created workflows to specific projects within the destination n8n instance.
- Streamline your DevOps process for n8n, ensuring environment parity with minimal manual intervention.
How It Works
This workflow operates by first retrieving all workflows from a specified source n8n instance. Simultaneously, it fetches existing workflows from the destination n8n instance. A crucial merge operation then identifies only those workflows from the source that are not present in the destination. These unique workflows are then iterated through, created in the destination instance, and subsequently assigned to a designated project. This ensures only necessary workflows are transferred, maintaining a clean and synchronized state between your n8n environments.
