Workflow name
Generate an auto-updating SVG stats badge on GitHub from your creator profile

Showcase your n8n creator profile with a dynamically generated SVG stats badge, automatically pushed to any GitHub repository on a schedule — ready to embed in your README in seconds.

What this workflow does On a configurable schedule, this workflow fetches your public creator profile from the n8n community, builds a fully styled SVG card displaying your name, avatar, total workflows, and community username, then pushes it directly to a GitHub repository. If the file already exists it updates it; if not, it creates it automatically. The final node outputs both the raw GitHub URL and a CDN-cached URL for embedding. What you'll see in your README A clean, animated 495×190px badge showing:

Your avatar (circular, pulled live from your n8n profile) Display name and "n8n Creator" label Total workflow count Approved workflow count Community username Direct link to your n8n creator page

Setup

Open the ⚙️ Config node and fill in your n8n community username, GitHub username, target repository, and your preferred card colors Add your GitHub credentials to both GitHub nodes Adjust the Schedule Trigger to your preferred refresh interval (daily recommended) Activate — the badge will be created on first run and kept up to date automatically

Embed in your README Nodes used: Schedule Trigger, Set, HTTP Request, Code, Extract From File, GitHub, Aggregate

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15643/15643.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
