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

Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL is a free n8n workflow on OpenRuna — 2 nodes connecting manual, microsoftSql. Download the JSON, view the flow diagram, and import it into your n8n instance.

What this workflow does

"Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" automates a manual-to-microsoftSql flow in n8n across 2 nodes. 2 nodes · manual, microsoftSql It starts from a scheduled/triggered trigger and routes data through every node in order. 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

  • 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 2-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 microsoftSql before building your own variant.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" exposes 2 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: manual, microsoftSql. Open each node after import to map credentials to your own manual and microsoftSql 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 "Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 2 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for manual, microsoftSql, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.

ChatGPT

Have ChatGPT generate a checklist for adapting "Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" to your accounts — which manual, microsoftSql 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 2 nodes.

How do I import "Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" 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 "Execute an SQL query in Microsoft SQL" use?
It uses: manual, microsoftSql. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 2 nodes. Filter OpenRuna by integration to find related workflows and tools.
