Automation Scripts​

See scripts/resources/n8n/ for scripts to:

  • Fetch and backup workflows from the API
  • Export workflow definitions for version control
  • Sync workflows between environments

Main script: scripts/resources/n8n/fetch-workflows.sh

  • Fetches active workflows from the API
  • Saves workflow definitions as JSON files
  • Includes tags and metadata
  • See scripts/resources/n8n/README.md for usage instructions

Workflow Management​

Lead Funnels Workflows​

Lead Funnels automation workflows (n8n workflows for lead funnel management, data enrichment, and personalization) are stored in a separate workspace:

Location: /Users/benpower/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-hello@automates.tech/Shared drives/Pacing/Tech/CursorPacing/Internal/Lead Funnels

This includes:

  • Flow 2: Data Enrichment workflow
  • Test workflows for Notifuse, TwentyCRM, and Vertex AI
  • Webappanalyzer integration for tech stack detection
  • Configuration files and documentation

See the Lead Funnels workspace README for complete documentation. Workflow definitions are not stored in scripts/resources/n8n/ - they live in the separate Lead Funnels workspace.

Active Workflows​

Active workflows are those with active: true status. These workflows are currently running and will execute based on their triggers.

Workflow Tags​

Workflows can be tagged to organise them by client or purpose. Tags are useful for:

  • Filtering workflows by client
  • Organising workflows by category
  • Managing access and permissions

To view tags for a workflow, use the API endpoint /workflows/{id}/tags or check the workflow in the n8n UI.

Workflow Backup​

Workflows are automatically backed up via the script in scripts/resources/n8n/fetch-workflows.sh. This script:

  • Fetches all active workflows from the API
  • Saves workflow definitions as JSON files
  • Includes workflow metadata (name, ID, tags, active status)
  • Organises workflows by tags or client assignment

Current Active Workflows​

As of December 2025, there are 9 active workflows:
