How do I import "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" 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 "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" use?

It uses: executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 43 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 executeWorkflow and switch credentials in n8n after import.

What trigger type does "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" 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 "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" 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 executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait.

Overview

Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis is a free n8n workflow on OpenRuna — 43 nodes connecting executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait. Download the JSON, view the flow diagram, and import it into your n8n instance.

What this workflow does

Built in n8n, "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" chains 43 nodes to move data between executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait. 43 nodes · executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait Execution begins at the scheduled/triggered trigger and flows through the 43 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

Fork it to add error handling, retries, or a notification step without designing the 43-node flow from scratch.
Benchmark it against your current executeWorkflow integration to spot missing steps or redundant nodes.
Study how data moves from executeWorkflow to switch before building your own variant.
Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the executeWorkflow stack.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" exposes 43 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait. Set your credentials on the executeWorkflow node, then verify each downstream node picks them up. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.

Tips by platform

Claude

Ask Claude to turn the "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" JSON into a plain-English runbook, node by node. It can flag where executeWorkflow rate limits or missing retries might bite before you go live.

ChatGPT

Drop the workflow JSON or this OpenRuna page URL into ChatGPT and ask for a step-by-step runbook: triggers, branches, and which fields to customise for executeWorkflow, switch, manual, redis, stopAndError, wait. Handy for onboarding teammates new to n8n.

Cursor

In Cursor, ask Agent mode to parameterise "Prevent concurrent workflow runs using Redis" — extract executeWorkflow IDs and secrets into environment variables without changing the 43-node structure.
