📋 Naming Convention

Intelligent Formatting System

Our system automatically converts technical filenames to user-friendly names:

# Automatic transformations:
2051_Telegram_Webhook_Automation_Webhook.json → "Telegram Webhook Automation"
0250_HTTP_Discord_Import_Scheduled.json → "HTTP Discord Import Scheduled"  
0966_OpenAI_Data_Processing_Manual.json → "OpenAI Data Processing Manual"

Technical Format

[ID]_[Service1]_[Service2]_[Purpose]_[Trigger].json

Smart Capitalization Rules

• HTTP → HTTP (not Http)
• API → API (not Api)
• webhook → Webhook
• automation → Automation
• scheduled → Scheduled

🤝 Contributing

Adding New Workflows

1. Export workflow as JSON from n8n
2. Name descriptively following the established pattern
3. Add to workflows/ directory
4. Remove sensitive data (credentials, personal URLs)
5. Run reindexing to update the database

Quality Standards

• ✅ Workflow must be functional and tested
• ✅ Remove all credentials and sensitive data
• ✅ Follow naming convention for consistency
• ✅ Verify compatibility with recent n8n versions
• ✅ Include meaningful description or comments

⚠️ Important Notes

Security & Privacy

• Review before use - All workflows shared as-is for educational purposes
• Update credentials - Replace API keys, tokens, and webhooks
• Test safely - Verify in development environment first
• Check permissions - Ensure proper access rights for integrations

Compatibility

• n8n Version - Compatible with n8n 1.0+ (most workflows)
• Community Nodes - Some workflows may require additional node installations
• API Changes - External services may have updated their APIs since creation
• Dependencies - Verify required integrations before importing
