# 🧠 N8N Workflow Collection & Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
This repository contains a collection of **n8n workflows** gathered from multiple sources, including:
|
||||
This repository contains a comprehensive collection of **2000+ n8n workflows** with an automated documentation system that provides detailed analysis and interactive browsing capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
* Workflows exported from the [n8n.io](https://n8n.io) website and community forum
|
||||
* Publicly shared examples found across the web (GitHub, blogs, etc.)
|
||||
## 📊 Interactive Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to provide a useful resource for inspiration, learning, and reuse in your own n8n projects.
|
||||
**Generate comprehensive documentation for all workflows:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 generate_documentation.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then open `workflow-documentation.html` in your browser for:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔍 **Advanced Search & Filtering** - Find workflows by name, integration, or trigger type
|
||||
- 📈 **Statistics Dashboard** - Workflow counts, complexity metrics, and insights
|
||||
- 🎯 **Smart Analysis** - Automatic categorization and description generation
|
||||
- 🌙 **Dark/Light Themes** - Accessible design with WCAG compliance
|
||||
- 📱 **Responsive Interface** - Works on desktop and mobile
|
||||
- 📄 **JSON Viewer** - Examine raw workflow files with copy/download
|
||||
- 🏷️ **Intelligent Tagging** - Automatic trigger type and complexity detection
|
||||
|
||||
### Features
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation system automatically analyzes each workflow to extract:
|
||||
- **Trigger Types**: Manual, Webhook, Scheduled, or Complex
|
||||
- **Complexity Levels**: Low (≤5 nodes), Medium (6-15), High (16+)
|
||||
- **Integrations**: All external services and APIs used
|
||||
- **Descriptions**: AI-generated summaries of workflow functionality
|
||||
- **Metadata**: Creation dates, tags, node counts, and more
|

## 📂 Folder Structure
|
||||
## 📂 Workflow Sources
|
||||
|
||||
* Each `.json` file represents a single exported workflow.
|
||||
* Files are named either based on their original title or source.
|
||||
* You may also find `.txt` files that were converted into `.json` (see below).
|
||||
This collection includes workflows from:
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
* Official [n8n.io](https://n8n.io) website and community forum
|
||||
* Public GitHub repositories and community contributions
|
||||
* Blog posts, tutorials, and documentation examples
|
||||
* User-submitted automation examples
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 TXT to JSON Conversion
|
||||
|
||||
Some workflows were originally saved as `.txt` files or copied from online sources. A script was used to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Detect `.txt` files
|
||||
* Attempt to parse them as JSON or structured key-value pairs
|
||||
* Convert them to valid `.json` format
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re looking to run the conversion yourself, check out `convert_txt_to_json.py` included in this repo.
|
||||
Files are organized with descriptive names indicating their functionality.

|
||||
2. **Generate Docs**: `python3 generate_documentation.py`
|
||||
3. **Browse Workflows**: Open `workflow-documentation.html`
|
||||
4. **Import & Use**: Copy interesting workflows to your n8n instance
|
||||
