## Key Insights

|
||||
- **TEMPLATES FIRST** - Always check for existing templates before building from scratch (2,500+ available!)
|
||||
- **ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED** - Always credit template authors with name, username, and link to n8n.io
|
||||
- **SMART FILTERING** - Use metadata filters to find templates matching user skill level and time constraints
|
||||
- **USE CODE NODE ONLY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY** - always prefer to use standard nodes over code node. Use code node only when you are sure you need it.
|
||||
- **VALIDATE EARLY AND OFTEN** - Catch errors before they reach deployment

### Template Attribution
|
||||
|
||||
All workflow templates in this project are fetched from n8n's public template gallery at [n8n.io/workflows](https://n8n.io/workflows). Each template includes:
|
||||
- Full attribution to the original creator (name and username)
|
||||
- Direct link to the source template on n8n.io
|
||||
- Original workflow ID for reference
|
||||
|
||||
The AI agent instructions in this project contain mandatory attribution requirements. When using any template, the AI will automatically:
|
||||
- Share the template author's name and username
|
||||
- Provide a direct link to the original template on n8n.io
|
||||
- Display attribution in the format: "This workflow is based on a template by **[author]** (@[username]). View the original at: [url]"
|
||||
|
||||
Template creators retain all rights to their workflows. This project indexes templates to improve discoverability through AI assistants. If you're a template creator and have concerns about your template being indexed, please open an issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Special thanks to the prolific template contributors whose work helps thousands of users automate their workflows, including:
|
||||
**David Ashby** (@cfomodz), **Yaron Been** (@yaron-nofluff), **Jimleuk** (@jimleuk), **Davide** (@n3witalia), **David Olusola** (@dae221), **Ranjan Dailata** (@ranjancse), **Airtop** (@cesar-at-airtop), **Joseph LePage** (@joe), **Don Jayamaha Jr** (@don-the-gem-dealer), **Angel Menendez** (@djangelic), and the entire n8n community of creators!
