How to import a Flowngn template into n8n
Copy, paste, connect your accounts, test — your first automation running in 5 minutes.
4 min read
Option 1: copy and paste (fastest)
- On any flow page, open the n8n template section and click Copy.
- Open n8n and create a new, empty workflow.
- Click anywhere on the canvas and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). All nodes appear, already connected.
Option 2: import a file
- Click Download on the flow page to save the .json file.
- In n8n, open the workflow menu (the … button at the top right) and choose Import from File.
- 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.
