n8n Import

Bring a workflow you already trust, and give it to the whole team.

Someone already found a workflow that does the thing. It is sitting in the n8n marketplace, or on the instance one person set up last year and now maintains alone. Paste the URL or the JSON, and your own agent rebuilds it on Runwork using the tools your team has already connected. Then everyone can run it, and it keeps running without anyone hosting a server.

Import n8n Workflow

Import an n8n workflow to build an equivalent Runwork app. Paste a URL from the n8n marketplace or upload your workflow JSON.

What n8n Import gives you

URL or JSON, Both Work

Paste a link from the n8n workflow marketplace, upload the JSON you exported from your own instance, or paste the JSON straight in. Public templates and your private workflows both come across.

It Runs On What You Already Connected

Your agent reads your workspace before it writes anything. The template sends mail through Mailchimp but your team runs SendGrid, so it uses SendGrid. Nobody re-authorizes anything.

8,000+ Workflows To Start From

8,000+ community workflows already exist for things your team does every week. Bring one in instead of describing it from scratch.

It Does Not Have To Stay a Diagram

Ask for a screen and you get one: a button to run it, a table of what it has done, the numbers on a dashboard. The people who use it never open a node editor.

The Whole Team Can Find It

The imported workflow gets an address in your workspace, roles that decide who can run it and who can change it, and a version history you can roll back.

Nothing To Host

Schedules and triggers run in your team cloud. No instance to keep up, nothing to patch at 2am, and it does not stop when one person is away.

Why n8n Import matters

How n8n Import works

A workflow that already works is worth more than a workflow you have to describe from scratch. The trouble is who it belongs to. It runs on one person's n8n instance, or it is a marketplace template nobody on your team has time to wire up. n8n Import is how that workflow becomes something the whole team runs.

Start with the workflow itself. Paste an n8n marketplace URL (like https://n8n.io/workflows/1234), upload the JSON you exported from your own n8n, or paste the JSON directly. Runwork pulls the workflow apart into what it actually does: the trigger, the steps in order, and every service it touches along the way.

Then your own agent does the work, in whatever tool that person already uses. It reads your workspace first, so it knows which of your integrations are connected and builds against those. If the template sends mail through Mailchimp and your team runs SendGrid, it uses SendGrid, and nobody re-authorizes anything. If a step has no equivalent in your workspace, it tells you what it found and asks what you want to use instead.

What you end up with is a running thing, not a diagram. The logic lands as workflows and automations, the triggers become schedules that run in your team cloud, and when it helps, your agent puts an app around it so the person who needs the output presses a button instead of reading nodes.

From there it belongs to the team. It has an address people can find, roles decide who runs it and who can change it, every change is a version you can roll back, and it keeps running whether or not the person who imported it is at their desk. There is no instance to host and nothing to patch.

Changes later go the same way as the import. You ask your agent for the extra step, it ships a new version, and the whole team has it. Nobody drags a node.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import any n8n workflow?
Public workflows from the n8n marketplace come in with the URL alone. Your own private ones come in as a JSON export from your instance. Your agent reads the workflow structure, the trigger, the steps and the services involved, and rebuilds the same logic on Runwork against the integrations your workspace has connected. If a step has no equivalent here, you hear about it before anything ships, and you decide what to use instead.
What happens if the workflow uses tools we have not connected?
Your agent checks your workspace first and uses what is already there, so a template built on Mailchimp runs on your SendGrid without anyone re-authorizing anything. If nothing matches, connect it from the 3,300+ integrations Runwork manages. Credentials are handled once, for the whole team, not per person.
Who actually does the conversion?
Your own agent. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, whichever your team already uses. It connects to your workspace, reads the workflow, and builds the equivalent there. Runwork does not do the writing. It is where the result lives, runs, and gets shared, which is the part that was missing.
Do I need an n8n account or installation?
No. Public marketplace workflows import from the URL by itself. For a private workflow, export the JSON from your n8n instance and paste or upload it. Nothing gets installed on your side, and you do not have to keep n8n running afterwards.
Why bring a workflow here instead of leaving it in n8n?
n8n is good at moving data between the tools you already have, and if someone on your team enjoys running an instance, there is nothing wrong with that. The difference is what happens to the workflow once it works. Here it becomes part of what the team owns: anyone can find it and run it, your teammates' AI tools can use it, roles decide who can change it, and it keeps running without anyone hosting or patching a server. This is not an ultimatum either. Plenty of teams run both.
Can we change it after importing?
Yes, the same way it came in. Ask your agent for the new step or the new field, it ships a new version, and the team has it. Every version is kept, so a bad change is one roll back, and the code is right there to read whenever you want it.
