Auto Generate Descriptive Node Names with AI for Workflow Readability
⚡Auto Rename n8n Workflow Nodes with AI✨ This workflow uses AI to automatically generate clear and descriptive names for every node in your n8n workflows. It analyzes each node's type, parameters, and connections to create meaningful names, making your workflows instantly readable. Who is it for? This workflow is for n8n users who manage complex workflows with dozens of nodes. If you've ever: Built workflows full of generic names like HTTP Request 2 or Edit Fields 1 Struggled to understand your own work after a few weeks Copied workflows from others with unclear node names Spent hours manually renaming nodes one by one ...then this workflow will save you significant time and effort. Requirements n8n API Credentials: Must be configured to allow listing and updating workflows AI Provider Credentials: An API key for your preferred AI provider (OpenRouter is used currently) How it works Trigger: Launch via form (select from dropdown) or manual trigger (quick testing with pre-selected workflow) Fetch: Retrieve the target workflow's JSON and extract nodes and connections Generate: Send the workflow JSON to the AI, which creates a unique, descriptive name for every node Validate: Verify the AI mapping covers all original node names Apply: If valid, update all node names, parameter references, and connections throughout the workflow Save: Save/Update the workflow with renamed nodes and provide links to both new and previous versions If validation fails (e.g., AI missed nodes), the workflow stops with an error. You can modify the error handling to retry or loop back to the AI node. Setup Connect n8n API credentials Open any n8n node in the workflow and make sure your n8n API credentials is connected Configure AI provider credentials Open the "OpenRouter" node (or replace with your preferred AI) Add your API credentials Adjust the model if needed (current: openai/gpt-5.1-codex-mini) Test the workflow Use Manual Trigger for quick testing with a pre-selected workflow Use Form Trigger for a user-friendly interface with workflow selection Important notice If you're renaming a currently opened workflow, you must reload the page after execution to see the latest version, n8n doesn't automatically refresh the canvas when workflow versions are updated via API.

By AnanAutomatically archive old WordPress posts to draft status
Overview: Automated WordPress Post Archiving This workflow is designed to maintain your blog's health and SEO by automatically moving old, published posts into a "draft" or "archive" state. This prevents outdated or low-traffic content from negatively impacting your site's performance and allows you to easily review and update them later. --- How It Works Quarterly Trigger: The workflow is set to run automatically on a recurring schedule, specifically on the 1st day of every 3rd month (quarterly). This ensures that your content is regularly audited without any manual intervention. Find Old Posts: The workflow connects to your WordPress site and fetches all published posts that are older than a specified time frame (in this case, 12 months). It uses the WordPress API's filtering capabilities to efficiently find the right content. Check if Posts Found: An If node checks if the previous step found any posts. This prevents the workflow from running further steps if there's nothing to archive. If no posts are found, the workflow ends and logs this. Archive Post: If posts are found, the workflow proceeds to update each one. It changes the post's status from publish to draft and automatically adds tags like archived and old-content for easy identification within your WordPress dashboard. Send Notification: After the archiving process is complete, the workflow sends an email notification to the administrator. This provides a summary of the activity, letting you know that the task has been completed. --- Setup Steps Configure WordPress Credentials: In both the Find Old Posts and Archive Post nodes, you need to add your WordPress credentials. This typically involves entering your site URL and creating an application password in your WordPress admin dashboard for secure API access. Set Up Email Credentials: In the Send Notification node, add your email service credentials (like SMTP or a Gmail account) to enable the workflow to send you the completion notification. Adjust the Archiving Period: In the Find Old Posts node, the current expression is {{ $now.minus({ months: 12 }).toISO() }} which archives posts older than 12 months. You can change the number of months to fit your content strategy (e.g., 24 for two years). Customize Tags: In the Archive Post node, you can customize the tags to better suit your needs. You can change or add new tags that will be applied to the archived posts. Activate the Workflow: Once all credentials and settings are configured, make sure to activate the workflow to set the quarterly schedule in motion.
