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

Free n8n workflow: dub.co URL Shortener. 12 nodes across manual, httpRequest, with a downloadable JSON and a visual flow diagram on OpenRuna.

What this workflow does

Built in n8n, "dub.co URL Shortener" chains 12 nodes to move data between manual, httpRequest. 12 nodes · manual, httpRequest A scheduled/triggered entry point kicks it off, and each node passes data to the next until the run completes.

  • Benchmark it against your current manual integration to spot missing steps or redundant nodes.
  • Study how data moves from manual to httpRequest before building your own variant.
  • Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the manual stack.
