Importing templates into n8n is straightforward using JSON files via the editor UI or command line. youtube
Step-by-Step Import (Editor UI)
Create a new workflow or open an existing one. Click the three dots in the top-right navigation bar, then select Import from File to upload a JSON template file, or Import from URL for direct links like GitHub. docs.n8n
- After import, reconnect credentials (they aren’t included in JSON exports for security). docs.n8n
- The workflow loads automatically and is ready for editing or activation. youtube
Clipboard Method
Copy the JSON content (Ctrl+C), then paste it directly into the canvas (Ctrl+V) for quick sharing. docs.n8n
Self-Hosted Tips
Works the same in Docker/local setups. Download templates from n8n.io/templates, validate JSON if issues arise, and check logs. community.n8n
