About the n8n template library
n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool: you connect nodes representing services and actions, and n8n runs the chain when a trigger fires. These templates are complete workflows exported as JSON, covering AI agents, email and CRM automation, document processing, research pipelines and social media publishing.
Each template is a starting point rather than a finished system. Import it, point it at your own accounts and credentials, and adjust the logic to match how your team actually works — the value is in not having to wire the structure up from scratch.
How to use it
- 1
Find a template
Filter by category or search for the service you want to automate. Each template lists the nodes it uses and what it does.
- 2
Copy the JSON
Copy the workflow JSON, then use Import from Clipboard in your n8n workspace to bring it in whole.
- 3
Add credentials and test
Connect your own API keys and accounts, run the workflow manually once to confirm each node behaves as expected, then activate it.
Frequently asked questions
Are these templates free?
Yes. Every template is free to copy, modify and use, including commercially.
Do I need my own n8n instance?
Yes. The templates are workflow definitions, not a hosted service. Run them on n8n Cloud or a self-hosted n8n instance.
Will a template work without changes?
Rarely. Every workflow needs your own credentials, and most need their logic adjusted for your data and process. Treat them as a structure to adapt.
What are the AI agent templates?
Workflows where an LLM node decides which tools to call rather than following a fixed path — useful for tasks such as triaging inbound email or answering questions against your own documents.
