How to import a Flowngn template into n8n

Copy, paste, connect your accounts, test — your first automation running in 5 minutes.

Option 1: copy and paste (fastest)

  1. On any flow page, open the n8n template section and click Copy.
  2. Open n8n and create a new, empty workflow.
  3. Click anywhere on the canvas and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). All nodes appear, already connected.

Option 2: import a file

  1. Click Download on the flow page to save the .json file.
  2. In n8n, open the workflow menu (the … button at the top right) and choose Import from File.
  3. Select the downloaded file.

Connect your accounts

Templates never include passwords or API keys. Nodes that need an account show a warning icon. Open each one, pick Create new credential and follow n8n's instructions for that app.

Replace the placeholders

Look for values starting with YOUR_ — like YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID or YOUR_CHAT_ID — and replace them with your own. The yellow sticky note in each template lists the setup steps.

Test, then switch it on

  • Click Execute workflow to run it once and check each node's output.
  • For triggers like webhooks, use the test URL while testing.
  • When everything works, switch the workflow to Active so it runs on its own.
