Selective n8n Workflow Import from GitHub (Nested Folder Support)

Unlike most import workflows, this template does not load everything automatically. Instead, it:

  • Traverses all nested folders in your repository
  • Collects every workflow JSON file found
  • Dynamically generates a selection form
  • Allows you to choose exactly which workflows to load
  • Cleans incompatible fields for n8n API compatibility
  • Creates workflows directly in your instance

This makes it ideal for users who:

  • Work across multiple n8n instances
  • Store workflows in structured GitHub directories (e.g. YYYY/MM/)
  • Want precise control over which workflows are restored
  • Manage staging, production, or client environments

If you maintain workflows in GitHub and need controlled, selective imports, especially across structured folder hierarchies, this template is built for that use case.
