This workflow automates the process of restoring multiple n8n workflows from backup JSON files stored in Google Drive, simplifying disaster recovery, migration, or reinstatement tasks. It starts with a manual trigger, then lists all workflow backup files within a specified Google Drive folder. The workflow loops through each file, downloads it, and extracts the JSON data. Using the n8n API, it creates or updates workflows in the current n8n instance, with a short pause between each to prevent API overload. Configured correctly, this pipeline significantly reduces manual effort and minimizes errors when restoring complex automation setups, particularly after system failures or instance migrations. Ideal use cases include managing large sets of workflows, ensuring seamless recovery, and maintaining version control across different environments.
