Credentials you'll need
Each integration node will prompt for credentials when you import. We strip credential IDs before publishing — you'll add your own.

How this works
This workflow automates the generation of a comprehensive documentation site for your n8n workflows, transforming raw configuration data into an interactive, searchable HTML structure using Docsify. It suits automation enthusiasts and teams managing complex n8n setups who need quick, up-to-date docs without manual effort, saving hours on maintenance. The key step involves extracting and sorting workflow details via the extractFromFile and sort nodes, then rendering them into polished pages with HTML operations, integrating seamlessly with n8n's readWriteFile for data handling.
Use this when you have a large n8n instance and want automated docs updated via webhook triggers after changes, especially for sharing overviews with non-technical stakeholders. Avoid it for tiny setups with fewer than ten workflows, where simple exports suffice, or if you prefer static tools like MkDocs over dynamic Docsify rendering. Common variations include adding OpenAI's lmChatOpenAi for summarising workflow purposes or customising the switch node for filtering specific doc actions like tutorials versus references.
