Package & Deploy Multiple n8n Workflows with Automatic Credential Mapping

INST: The n8n Workflow Installer

This workflow provides everything you need to package and deploy multiple workflows from a single workflow you distribute.

That's right, now you can package up dozens of workflows and send your client(s) a single workflow to run, that will create them all and auto-assign all the credentials.

This workflow installs 3 files when you run it, demonstrating the functionality. Just make your own mods to the system, repackage it, and you are ready to go!

Requirements

• An n8n instance with API access enabled and an access key
• Optional: GitHub and OpenAI access keys

What This Workflow Does

• Installs 3 additional workflows, demonstrating the functionality
• One of the workflows is a packager, that you configure for your own needs
• Two example workflows demonstrate functionality, and can be deleted

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Run the Workflow
   This will get the example and tool workflows on your instance.

2. Package Your Content
   Configure the packager, then run it to produce a base64-compressed version of your files.

3. Customize the Installer
   Make your own copy of the installer, and set the base64 payload.

4. Deploy the Installer
   Export your installer script. Now, anyone you send it to will get all your packaged workflows when they execute it.

How to Use This Workflow

This workflow is meant to be reused and adapted. You can:

• Integrate it into a deployment pipeline
• Turn it into a subworkflow for dynamic installs
• Extend it to include triggers, permission settings, or test runs

If you frequently deploy or share n8n assets, this installer gives you a repeatable way to do it with confidence.
