How do I import "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" into n8n?

Click Download n8n JSON on this page, then in n8n choose Workflows → Import from file and select the downloaded file. Reconnect credentials on each node — the export carries credential IDs from the original author's instance, not working secrets.

Which integrations does "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" use?

It uses: manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 9 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 cron credentials in n8n after import.

What trigger type does "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" 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.

Is "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" free to use?

OpenRuna catalogs community n8n workflows under open licenses. Check the source corpus link for the original license; commercial use may require verifying the third-party API terms for manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud.

Overview

Free n8n workflow: Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud. 9 nodes across manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud, with a downloadable JSON and a visual flow diagram on OpenRuna.

What this workflow does

"Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" automates a manual-to-cron flow in n8n across 9 nodes. 9 nodes · manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud A scheduled/triggered entry point kicks it off, and each node passes data to the next until the run completes. OpenRuna renders the node graph and offers the JSON export so you can import and adapt it in minutes. Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.

Use cases

Benchmark it against your current manual integration to spot missing steps or redundant nodes.
Fork it to add error handling, retries, or a notification step without designing the 9-node flow from scratch.
Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the manual stack.
Study how data moves from manual to cron before building your own variant.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" exposes 9 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud. Reconnect the manual credential first, then walk the remaining nodes top to bottom. 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 "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 9 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.

ChatGPT

Have ChatGPT generate a checklist for adapting "Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud" to your accounts — which manual, cron, moveBinaryData, httpRequest, functionItem, nextCloud 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 9 nodes.
