Import into n8n

  1. Download the n8n JSON file (full or sanitized).
  2. In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
  3. Open each node and reconnect credentials to your accounts.
  4. Test with manual execution before enabling triggers.

Sanitized JSON removes credential IDs — safer for sharing. Flow graph JSON is OpenRuna's lightweight format for diagrams and other tools, not n8n import.

Overview

Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node is a free n8n workflow on OpenRuna — 4 nodes connecting manual, sendGrid. Download the JSON, view the flow diagram, and import it into your n8n instance.

What this workflow does

"Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" automates a manual-to-sendGrid flow in n8n across 4 nodes. 4 nodes · manual, sendGrid Execution begins at the scheduled/triggered trigger and flows through the 4 configured nodes. On OpenRuna you get the visual graph, the integration list, and a downloadable JSON ready to import into n8n. Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.

Use cases

  • Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the manual stack.
  • Study how data moves from manual to sendGrid before building your own variant.
  • Use it as a starting template when wiring manual, sendGrid — adjust node parameters to your accounts and record IDs.
  • Import "Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" into n8n, reconnect credentials for manual, sendGrid, and run the same automation in your own workspace.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" exposes 4 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: manual, sendGrid. Open each node after import to map credentials to your own manual and sendGrid accounts. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.

Tips by platform

Claude

Paste the exported JSON for "Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 4 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for manual, sendGrid, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.

ChatGPT

Have ChatGPT generate a checklist for adapting "Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" to your accounts — which manual, sendGrid credentials to create and which node parameters to change first.

Cursor

Open the downloaded JSON in Cursor and use Agent mode to refactor hard-coded URLs into env vars, or to generate tests for any Code nodes. Keep the OpenRuna flow diagram open so you do not break connection order across the 4 nodes.

Frequently asked questions

It uses: manual, sendGrid. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 4 nodes. Filter OpenRuna by integration to find related workflows and tools.
Can I import a sanitized export without credentials?
Yes. Use "Download sanitized JSON" to strip credential references before sharing internally. You will still add your own manual and sendGrid credentials in n8n after import.
What trigger type does "Create, update and get a contact using the SendGrid node" use?
Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. After import, confirm the trigger node (webhook, schedule, or app event) matches your environment, then activate the workflow when you are ready to run it.
