What is AutomationFlows?
AutomationFlows is an open catalog of n8n workflows. n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform — like Zapier or Make, but self-hostable and code-friendly. A "workflow" is a JSON file describing nodes (integrations, logic, AI) and connections. We index thousands of these workflows by integration, trigger type, and complexity so you can find one to copy instead of building from scratch.
Browsing and copying are 100% free. Pro subscribers unlock bulk JSON download, weekly digests, integration-filtered alerts, and (coming soon) one-click import via the AutomationFlows desktop app.
This site is independent. n8n is a trademark of n8n GmbH. We use the name in body copy only and link to n8n.io as the canonical source for official templates.
Where the workflows come from
Workflows are sourced from open-source community archives — primarily the Zie619/n8n-workflows repo and equivalent public collections. Every workflow on this site retains attribution to its original creator with a link back to the source.
A miner runs every 12 hours and walks: GitHub (code search + topics), GitLab, Codeberg, Reddit (r/n8n), Hacker News, dev.to, Mastodon, Bluesky, the n8n community forum, and curated awesome-list READMEs. New workflows are detected, parsed, deduplicated, and queued.
We do not republish n8n.io's official template gallery. If a workflow's meta.templateId matches an n8n.io template, we link out with rel="canonical" to avoid duplicate-content penalties and to credit n8n.io for the original curation.
How quality & complexity scoring works
Every workflow gets a complexity score (1–5 stars) derived from its node graph:
| Signal | What it measures | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Node count | Total nodes in the workflow | 30% |
| Branching depth | Max chain length in the connections graph | 25% |
| Integration breadth | Number of distinct external integrations | 20% |
| Custom code | Presence of code or function nodes | 15% |
| AI presence | LangChain / OpenAI / Anthropic / HF nodes | 10% |
Quality filters are applied before publishing — workflows with fewer than 2 nodes, more than 100 nodes, or only set/function/noOp nodes are dropped as fragments or spam. Identical workflows (by content hash) are deduplicated; we keep the version with the most readable title.
What we strip before publishing
Workflow exports often contain test-run artifacts and credential metadata. Before any workflow lands in the public catalog we strip:
pinData— stored test inputs/outputs, may contain real API responses, emails, or tokenscredentials.{type}.id— instance-specific credential UUIDs (the type stays so n8n knows what to ask for)webhookIdon trigger nodes — avoids leaking active webhook URLsmeta.instanceId— fingerprint of the original n8n install
You will never import a workflow from AutomationFlows that leaks someone else's API keys, webhook URL, or instance fingerprint. A regex sweep also flags any node parameters that look like live API keys; those workflows go through a manual-review queue.
Categories
Every workflow is mapped to one of 12 use-case categories (taxonomy adapted from Zie619's def_categories.json):
- AI & RAG — agents, RAG pipelines, vector DBs, LLM chains
- Marketing & Ads — lead gen, ad-spend tracking, attribution, GA4
- Email & Gmail — auto-categorize, lemlist, replies, SES, Brevo
- Social Media — Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, scheduling
- Slack & Telegram — bots, channel alerts, DM rotations, AI assistants
- Data & Sheets — Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, Postgres ETL
- Web Scraping — Apify, Browserless, HTTP, ScrapingBee
- E-commerce — Shopify, Stripe, WooCommerce, order automation
- CRM & Sales — HubSpot, Pipedrive, lead enrichment, attribution
- DevOps — GitHub, Docker, Proxmox, monitoring, alerts
- Finance — Stripe webhooks, accounting, tax, invoicing
- Content & Video — WordPress, image gen, video, podcast pipelines
Frequently asked questions
Every workflow is integration-tagged, complexity-scored, and privacy-stripped before publishing. Source repo and original author are linked on every detail page. Always read the node graph before activating — workflows with code or function nodes execute JavaScript inside n8n. Treat them like you would any open-source dependency.
Push your workflow JSON to a public GitHub repo with topic n8n-workflow or n8n-template, or share it on the n8n community forum. Our miner picks up new entries every 12 hours. To fast-track, use the Submit form on the homepage — it adds your URL to the next crawl cycle.
Browsing, searching, copying JSON from any detail page, and submitting workflows are 100% free — no signup. The Pro tier ($9/month) adds bulk JSON download, weekly digests, and integration-filtered alerts. Pro+ ($29/month) adds API access (10k calls/month). Lifetime ($299 one-time) covers everything in Pro+ forever, plus founding member status. See pricing →
Yes — in development. The AutomationFlows desktop app (Electron, macOS + Windows) will let you one-click import workflows directly to your local n8n instance via its REST API, and bulk-install entire vertical packs in one action. Subscribe to Pro to be notified when it ships.
Either it didn't pass our quality filter (fragment, only set/function nodes, or duplicate of an existing entry), or the miner hasn't reached it yet. Workflows submitted via the Submit form are crawled within 24 hours; GitHub-tagged repos may take up to 12 hours longer. If it still doesn't appear after 48 hours, email us with the URL.
Yes. If you're the original author and want your workflow removed, or if you find a workflow that infringes your rights, email us with the URL and we will remove it from the next catalog rebuild (within 24 hours). The take-down link is also in the footer of every workflow detail page.
