This n8n workflow streamlines the import and synchronization of workflows across multiple n8n instances and from file uploads. It supports importing workflows either from uploaded JSON files or directly from remote n8n instances, with capabilities to handle credentials, map them correctly, and create new credentials where necessary. The process involves extracting workflow data, managing credentials, and dynamically creating workflows on the destination instance, making it ideal for managing complex, multi-environment setups.

The workflow begins with a form trigger where users choose to upload a workflow file or select a remote n8n instance. If a file is uploaded, it gets extracted and converted from JSON. For remote instances, it fetches workflows via an API call, considering the latest updates. The workflow then performs a detailed credential mapping: extracting existing credentials, identifying missing ones, and optionally creating new, empty credentials to be configured later.

It consolidates workflow data, updates node credentials with the mapped credentials, and finally creates or updates the workflow on the destination n8n environment. Throughout the process, sticky notes provide guidance, and error handling is incorporated to inform the user if the import fails.

This automation is particularly useful for deploying standardized workflows across multiple n8n environments or backing up workflows with credentials intact, ensuring consistency and efficiency in workflow management.
