Workflow Management

Active Workflows

Active workflows are those with active: true status. These workflows are currently running and will execute based on their triggers.

Workflow Tags

Workflows can be tagged to organise them by client or purpose. Tags are useful for:

• Filtering workflows by client
• Organising workflows by category
• Managing access and permissions

To view tags for a workflow, use the API endpoint /workflows/{id}/tags or check the workflow in the n8n UI.

Workflow Backup

Workflows are automatically backed up via the script in scripts/resources/n8n/fetch-workflows.sh. This script:

• Fetches all active workflows from the API
• Saves workflow definitions as JSON files
• Includes workflow metadata (name, ID, tags, active status)
• Organises workflows by tags or client assignment
