Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:

- Developers needing to automate the process of moving workflows into specific folders based on tags.
- Teams that require a systematic approach to manage and categorize their projects efficiently.
- Administrators who oversee workflow management and need to streamline the organization process.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of managing numerous workflows by automatically categorizing them into folders based on associated tags. It eliminates manual sorting, reducing the risk of errors and saving valuable time, thus enhancing overall productivity.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow starts with a manual trigger via a form submission, allowing users to select tags they want to convert into folders.
    2. Set Credentials: The workflow sets up the necessary credentials for the n8n instance, ensuring secure access.
    3. Login to n8n: It logs into the n8n API to retrieve project data.
    4. Get Tags: The workflow fetches tags associated with the user's personal projects.
    5. Filter Owned Projects: It filters the projects to only include those owned by the user.
    6. Split Out: The workflow splits the fetched data for further processing.
    7. Loop Over Items: It iterates through each tag, preparing to create or find corresponding folders.
    8. Get Folders: For each tag, it checks whether a folder already exists.
    9. Create Folders: If a folder does not exist, it creates a new folder with the tag name.
    10. Move Workflows: Finally, it moves the workflows into their respective folders based on the tags selected.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying Credentials: Update the credentials in the 'set credentials' node to connect to your n8n instance.
    - Changing API Endpoints: Adjust the API URLs in the HTTP request nodes if your n8n instance has a different structure.
    - Altering Conditions: Modify the filter conditions in the 'filter owned projects' and 'If folder exists' nodes to suit your specific requirements.
    - Customizing Form Fields: Change the form fields in the 'On form submission' node to include additional options or fields as needed.
    - Adjusting Workflow Logic: The logic in the 'Code' node can be tailored to format or process tags differently based on user preferences.
