Automatic backup of workflows to GitHub with email/telegram notifications

Why? Have you ever updated your n8n instance, or moved from one instance to the other and lost all your workflows? I suggest NOT DOING THAT! Especially if you have very complex workflows that would take days to recreate. Make sure you have a backup process in place! How it works Get all workflows from an n8n instance using your n8n API Formats the workflows cleanly Creates a backup package Checks if target GitHub repository exists, if not creates it Uploads a manifest Uploads a readme Uploads your workflows as separate JSON files Sends a summary to your choice (Telegram or GMAIL) What it does Backs up all your workflows Splits them out into separate JSON files for each workflow Sends a notification What it doesn't do Does not back up credentials (not smart for security reasons) Does not delete old backups Requirements n8n n8n API setup with credentials stored in instance you are running this from GitHub user & API (with repository rights) setup (API key in Github, Credentials in n8n) Future Updates If I get requests for these features I would build them: Rolling backups (delete further back than 3 days) Logic to skip the backup if nothing changed

Copy folder structure without files in Google Drive

Why? Google Drive desktop lets you copy full folders—contents and all. But what if you only want to copy the folder names (not the files) from one drive location to another? Maybe you're reusing a folder structure or duplicating a template structure, but without this workflow each copy will hold different content. This n8n workflow helps you clone just the structure—no clutter, no file duplicates. How it works Load this workflow into your n8n instance Setup GDRIVE credentials if you have not already (see video below) Double-click "edit this node" Enter the SOURCE folder ID (into "EDITTHISNODE") - see image on where to get folder ID Enter the DESTINATION folder ID Run the workflow What it does Creates all new folders in destination that were in the source folder Skips folders in destination that already exist What it doesn't do (yet) Does not copy over any nested folders Does not copy over any files Requirements n8n Google drive API must be setup in your n8n (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ai1EPznlAc) Future Updates If I get requests for these features I would build them: Copy nested folder structure within the destination drive. Flag (on/off) - to copy nested folder structure Better error handling Some kind of feedback output log on what was created
