Automated n8n Workflow Audit & Export Tool (JSON + Excel)

Stop Auditing Workflows Manually — Automate Your n8n Reports. This workflow delivers complete visibility across every automation in your n8n instance — instantly, reliably, and without opening the editor.

Purpose of This Workflow

As your automation stack grows, keeping track of workflows becomes time-consuming. This tool collects key workflow details, applies filters you choose, and returns structured output in clean JSON or a fully formatted Excel report. It empowers teams to make decisions faster, maintain governance, and document their automation landscape with zero manual effort.

✅ What This Workflow Helps You Do

• Get a complete overview of every workflow in your n8n instance
• Quickly identify active vs inactive workflows
• Understand configuration and structure at a glance
• Export workflow details for audits, documentation, handovers, or reports
• Reuse the data in dashboards, admin panels, or integrations

What’s Included in Each Report

This workflow goes beyond simple lists. It analyzes each workflow and provides detailed metrics such as:

• Export all worklfow report in Excel to filter according to your need

• Workflow Name & ID

• Status (active / inactive)

• Created and Updated Timestamps

• Total Number of Nodes

• Node Type Breakdown, including:

  • Number of HTTP Request nodes
  • Number of AWS S3 nodes
  • Custom / Other node types detected
  • Any specialized integrations used

This helps teams understand not just what exists — but how each workflow is built.
