n8n: using prompts and workflow files
How to safely import workflows, configure credentials, and avoid leaking secrets.
1) Import the workflow
On the prompt page click “Download workflow” (if available).
In n8n use Import workflow and paste/upload the JSON.
2) Configure credentials
Never hardcode tokens in workflow nodes.
Use n8n Credentials and environment variables.
3) Pre-flight checks
Review nodes for URLs/keys/limits.
Test on a small dataset and enable logging.
