Core Features & Use Cases

  • Import specific workflow JSON files from infrastructure/n8n/workflows/ into the active n8n pod in the fenrir-marketing namespace.
  • Validate file existence, handle pod detection, transfer files to /tmp/n8n-import, and execute the import via n8n CLI.
  • Cleanup temporary files and report results, supporting both targeted and bulk imports.

Quick Start

Run the import workflow command to push and register the specified or all workflow JSON files into the n8n pod.

Frequently Asked Questions about n8n-import

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import n8n workflows into a running Kubernetes pod?▼

To import n8n workflows into a running Kubernetes pod, the Skill detects the target pod, copies workflow JSON files to a temporary /tmp/n8n-import directory, and executes the n8n import:workflow command to register them automatically.

Can I import all workflow JSON files in a directory at once into n8n?▼

Yes, you can import all workflow JSON files at once by omitting a specific filename. The Skill automatically detects the n8n pod and bulk imports every JSON file located in the infrastructure/n8n/workflows/ directory.

What is the best way to deploy n8n automation workflows across Kubernetes environments?▼

The best way to deploy n8n automation workflows across environments is automating the import process. This Skill validates file existence, transfers workflow JSON files to the active pod, runs the CLI import, and cleans up temporary data.

Does importing n8n workflows via kubectl require manual cleanup of temporary files?▼

No, importing n8n workflows via kubectl does not require manual cleanup. The Skill automatically removes the transferred JSON files from the /tmp/n8n-import directory after executing the n8n import:workflow command and reporting the results.

How do I target a specific n8n pod in the fenrir-marketing namespace for workflow import?▼

To target a specific n8n pod in the fenrir-marketing namespace, the Skill automatically detects the running pod in that namespace during the workflow import process, requiring no manual pod selection.

Can I import a single n8n workflow JSON file instead of the entire directory?▼

Yes, you can import a single n8n workflow JSON file by providing its filename. The Skill will then only import that specific file from the infrastructure/n8n/workflows/ directory instead of processing all available files.
