Backup Workflows to Git Repository on Gitea
This workflow implements regular backups of automated processes to a designated Gitea Git repository, ensuring secure storage and version management of the workflow. It is automatically triggered every 45 minutes to detect changes in the workflow, updating the repository only when there are content changes to avoid duplicate submissions. The built-in Base64 encoding enhances the security of data transmission, while flexible conditional checks ensure the accuracy of newly added or updated files, making it suitable for users who require private deployment and efficient management of automated processes.

Backup Workflows to Git Repository on Gitea
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the backup of all n8n workflows to a specified Gitea Git repository. It supports scheduled triggers and automatically detects workflow changes, updating repository files only when content modifications occur to avoid redundant commits. The workflow incorporates built-in Base64 encoding to ensure secure data transmission and storage, and uses flexible conditional logic to distinguish between creating new files and updating existing ones.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automates backup of n8n workflows to prevent data loss
- Synchronizes workflow changes promptly to the Git repository, ensuring version control
- Minimizes redundant commits, optimizing Git repository update efficiency
- Integrates with the Gitea API for seamless connection to private Git repositories
Use Cases
- Enterprises or individuals managing automation processes with n8n who need regular backups of workflow scripts to prevent accidental loss
- Version control and collaborative development of workflows via Git repositories
- Users requiring private Git server deployment (e.g., Gitea) and synchronization of automation workflow data to private repositories
- Operations teams aiming for scheduled automatic backup and versioning of n8n workflows
Main Process Steps
- Scheduled Trigger: Automatically initiates the backup process every 45 minutes.
- Set Global Variables: Configure Gitea repository URL, repository name, and owner information.
- Fetch All n8n Workflows: Use n8n API to retrieve all current workflow data.
- Iterate Over Workflows: Process each workflow individually in batch mode.
- Check if Workflow File Exists in Gitea Repository: Use GetGitea node combined with existence check logic.
- Branch Processing Based on File Existence:
- If file exists, prepare update content (SetDataUpdateNode + Base64EncodeUpdate) and call PUT API to update the file.
- If file does not exist, prepare creation content (SetDataCreateNode + Base64EncodeCreate) and call POST API to create the file.
- Change Detection: Compare the latest content with repository content; commit only if changes are detected.
- Commit Changes to Gitea: Use PutGitea or PostGitea nodes to update or create files via the Gitea API.
- Automatically Loop Through All Workflow Files: Complete backup synchronization for all workflows.
Involved Systems and Services
- n8n: Serves as the data source to obtain all automation workflow definitions.
- Gitea: Private Git service hosting all workflow backup files.
- HTTP Request Nodes: Invoke Gitea API to perform file operations.
- Python Code Nodes: Handle Base64 encoding of workflow JSON data.
- Scheduled Trigger: Enables automated periodic execution.
Target Users and Value
- n8n Automation Platform Users: Operations personnel and developers who need to ensure workflow security and version control.
- Enterprise Technical Teams: Those aiming to integrate automation workflows into standard code repository management systems.
- Private Git Service Users: Organizations requiring backups of automation workflows to internal Git servers for security and compliance.
- Automation Operations Engineers: Professionals building automated backup mechanisms to enhance operational efficiency and stability.
This workflow significantly simplifies the backup process for n8n workflows, ensuring secure storage and version tracking of automation processes. It is a vital tool for building an efficient and reliable automated operations environment. Simply configure the Gitea-related settings and activate the workflow to enjoy seamless automated backups.
Scheduled Website Status Monitoring and Alert Workflow
This workflow implements scheduled status monitoring for multiple websites, automatically checking website responses every 6 hours and intelligently assessing changes in their operational status. Alerts are sent through multiple channels, such as email and Slack, to ensure that relevant personnel are promptly informed of website downtimes or recoveries. Additionally, the detection results are recorded in real-time in Google Sheets, facilitating subsequent analysis and tracking. This automated monitoring significantly reduces the workload of manual checks, improves operational efficiency, and ensures stable business operations.
Telegram Tron Wallet Blacklist Checker
This workflow automatically queries the blacklist status of USDT wallet addresses on the TRON blockchain through a Telegram bot. Users simply need to send the wallet address, and the system will call the Tronscan API for verification, quickly providing feedback on whether the address is on the blacklist. This process simplifies wallet security checks, helping users avoid transactions with blacklisted addresses, thereby effectively safeguarding their funds. It is suitable for cryptocurrency trading platforms, investors, compliance teams, and more.
LogiGreenTrack — Real-Time Logistics Delivery Tracking Assistant
LogiGreenTrack is a real-time tracking assistant for logistics delivery that interacts with drivers through a Telegram bot, simplifying the collection and management of delivery information. Drivers can easily submit delivery order numbers, GPS locations, and photos of the goods, while the system automatically handles data storage and sharing, enhancing the efficiency of information transmission. This workflow integrates multiple platforms to achieve transparent management of delivery status, helping logistics companies monitor delivery progress in real-time and optimize last-mile delivery management.
n8n Automated Backup Management
This workflow implements automated backup management, capable of regularly backing up current workflow data and synchronizing the backup files to a designated Google Drive folder. It automatically creates and manages backup folders, periodically moving and renaming old backups, while also supporting the cleanup of files that exceed the set retention days, effectively saving storage space. By utilizing batch processing for uploads, it ensures a stable and efficient backup process, making it suitable for both businesses and individual users, thereby enhancing data security and management efficiency.
Create and Update a Channel, and Send a Message on Twist
This workflow can automatically create and update channels on the Twist platform while sending messages with quick navigation buttons to specified users. By automating these operations, it simplifies the channel management and information notification processes, effectively enhancing team communication efficiency and collaboration experience. It is particularly suitable for scenarios such as project initiation, remote collaboration, and document updates, ensuring timely information delivery and preventing omissions and delays. It is ideal for project managers, product teams, and any organization using Twist.
Line Save File to Google Drive and Log File's URL
This workflow automatically receives file messages from LINE, saves the files to a specified folder in Google Drive, and records the file details in Google Sheets. It achieves orderly and secure file management through dynamic classification and file type verification. Additionally, it supports automatic replies to users regarding the upload results, enhancing communication efficiency and user experience. This workflow is suitable for both businesses and individuals to efficiently manage files and maintain upload logs.
Monitoring and Alerting
