StaticData AccessToken Management Demonstration Workflow
This workflow demonstrates how to automatically manage and persist access tokens, ensuring their validity to avoid interface call failures due to token expiration. By initializing static data, checking the token status, automatically requesting a new token when necessary, and updating storage, the token management process is streamlined. It is suitable for automated scenarios that require frequent access to APIs protected by tokens, helping to improve system operational efficiency and stability.
Send Daily Weather Updates to a Phone Number Using the Vonage Node
This workflow is capable of automatically retrieving weather information for a specified city every day and sending the day's temperature information to preset phone numbers via SMS service. By integrating scheduled triggers, weather data retrieval, and SMS sending, it ensures that users receive accurate and timely weather alerts, making it particularly suitable for individuals and businesses that require daily weather updates, thereby enhancing convenience and efficiency in both life and work.
Real-time GitHub Notification Monitoring and Discord Push
This workflow implements real-time monitoring of GitHub notifications, automatically retrieving the latest update information every minute and organizing it for push to a designated Discord channel. By utilizing dynamic time calculations and content formatting, it ensures that the messages pushed are concise and efficient, avoiding unnecessary notifications. It is suitable for software development teams and project managers, helping them to quickly respond to project dynamics and improve collaboration efficiency, thus addressing the inefficiency of manually checking notifications.
Clone n8n Workflows between Instances using n8n API
This workflow enables the automatic cloning and migration of workflows between different instances. By calling the API, users can batch retrieve the workflow list from the source instance and filter out workflows that do not exist in the target instance, creating and associating them sequentially with the specified project. This process supports flexible configuration of credentials and project names, ensuring accurate data migration, significantly enhancing the efficiency and security of workflow management, making it suitable for unified management and backup for multiple teams or enterprise-level users.
Automated PDF File Download Response Workflow
This workflow can automatically respond to specified GET requests, retrieving PDF files from a remote server and returning them as attachments to the requester. The filename includes the current date for easier management and identification. Through this process, users can download specific PDF documents in real-time without manually accessing and saving files, achieving automated, efficient, and secure distribution suitable for websites, applications, and any scenario that requires instant PDF downloads.
[OPS] Restore workflows from GitHub to n8n
This workflow implements the functionality of automatically restoring and synchronizing backup workflows from GitHub. By reading the workflow JSON files from a specified path in GitHub, it automatically compares them with the workflows in the current environment to avoid duplication, ensuring that only workflows that do not already exist are imported. This process simplifies the cumbersome manual import, enhances the management efficiency and security of workflows, and is suitable for enterprise IT teams, DevOps engineers, and development teams, ensuring a clean and orderly workflow environment.
Jira Event Trigger Workflow
This workflow automatically captures dynamic changes such as status updates and comments on project tasks by real-time monitoring of various events in Jira, enhancing the responsiveness and collaboration efficiency of project management. It not only triggers subsequent actions automatically, such as notifications and data synchronization, but also helps teams reduce the burden of manually checking task progress, ensuring timely information updates, lowering communication costs, and minimizing the risk of omissions. It is particularly suitable for development teams and project managers.
Linear Issue Intelligent Classification and Team Assignment
This workflow automatically classifies bug-type tickets by listening for new tickets in Linear and intelligently analyzes the ticket descriptions using OpenAI's GPT-4 model to determine the appropriate handling team. If the AI is unable to identify a team, it will automatically send a notification via Slack. This process reduces manual intervention, improves the accuracy and response speed of ticket handling, ensures timely attention to tickets, and enhances team collaboration and operational efficiency.
