Workflow stats
This workflow automatically collects and summarizes detailed statistical data from all workflows, generating a structured JSON format, which is then rendered into an interactive HTML dashboard using an XML template. Users can intuitively view the total number of workflows, their activation status, trigger counts, and the usage of various nodes, tags, and Webhooks, thereby enhancing management efficiency and avoiding resource waste. It also supports custom data presentation in BI tools, facilitating team collaboration and optimizing the design of automated processes.
Telegram Weather Workflow
This workflow implements the automatic retrieval of weather information for specified cities (such as Berlin) via Telegram. Users simply need to send a message, and the system will call the weather API to instantly reply with the current weather conditions, temperature, and feels-like temperature, greatly simplifying the inquiry process. This service is suitable for individuals, teams, and customer service bots, enhancing information retrieval efficiency, improving user experience, and facilitating integration into more complex intelligent assistants.
n8n Community Topic Tracker by Keyword
This workflow automatically fetches community topics related to specified keywords at scheduled intervals, updates their detailed information in Google Sheets, and notifies the team via Slack and email when content changes occur, ensuring that members stay informed of the latest developments. It effectively addresses the issues of scattered information and frequent updates, enhancing the management efficiency of community topics. This workflow is suitable for users and teams that need to track community discussions in real-time, promoting collaboration and responsiveness.
Trigger a Build Using the TravisCI Node
This workflow allows users to quickly trigger the build process for a specified project through simple manual operations, simplifying the traditional method of initiating builds. Users only need to click the execute button to remotely call the project API via the TravisCI node, starting the build task. It is suitable for development teams and project managers to efficiently control builds in multi-project management or environment switching, enhancing work efficiency and flexibility.
GitLab Automated Merge Request Management Workflow
This workflow implements comprehensive automated management of merge requests in GitLab projects. It periodically checks and processes merge requests to avoid duplicate creations, automatically adds comments, ensures intelligent merging after the CI pipeline is completed, and closes outdated requests. This process significantly reduces the workload and error risks associated with manual management, enhances team collaboration efficiency and code quality, and is suitable for software development teams and continuous integration/continuous delivery environments.
Simplest n8n Workflow Backup — Automate the Security of Your Google Drive Data
This workflow is designed to automatically back up users' workflow configurations, regularly saving the backup data as JSON files and uploading them to a specific directory in Google Drive. Through scheduled triggers and data transformation, it ensures the secure storage and convenient recovery of workflows, effectively preventing data loss due to accidental operations or system failures. It is suitable for enterprises and individuals that require regular backups and centralized storage of workflow configurations, enhancing management efficiency and data security.
Get All Scaleway Server Info Copy
This workflow can automatically retrieve server information from multiple regions of the Scaleway cloud service platform and perform data integration and standardization. Users can quickly locate target servers using flexible filtering criteria (such as tags, names, public IPs, and regions). Ultimately, the filtered results are returned through a Webhook interface, enhancing the automation level of cloud resource management. It is suitable for DevOps engineers, operations automation developers, and IT infrastructure teams, enabling efficient server information querying and management.
Addon for Workflow Nodes Update Check Template
This workflow is designed for the automatic detection and management of outdated node versions. It can add identifiers to older node versions and create new nodes with the latest version on the canvas, making it easier for users to identify and replace them. Additionally, it generates access links for the affected workflows and sends update notification emails via Gmail. By automating this process, it significantly reduces operational costs and enhances the stability and efficiency of workflows, making it suitable for enterprise automation management and multi-team collaboration environments.
