Credentials Transfer
Configured with Execute Command, Extract From File, Form, Form Trigger, and additional nodes. Review the connections and setup before adapting this template.
Node categories in this workflow
- Integration
- Web / API
- Code
- Transform
- Files / media
- Trigger
Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.
Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.
How it works
The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.
| Node | Category | Type | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Success | Integration | Form | completion |
| Error | Integration | Form | completion |
| Create Credential | Web / API | HTTP Request | POST |
| Get Instance Names | Code | Code | See node parameters |
| Settings | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Export Credentials | Code | Execute Command | See node parameters |
| Get Credentials Data | Files / media | Read Write File | See node parameters |
| Binary to JSON | Transform | Extract From File | fromJson |
| Get Credential Names | Code | Code | See node parameters |
| Choose Instance | Integration | Form | See node parameters |
| Choose Credential | Integration | Form | See node parameters |
| Prepare Request Data | Code | Code | See node parameters |
| On form submission | Trigger | Form Trigger | See node parameters |
Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.
Requirements
An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.
Credential types declared in the source
None declared. HTTP requests and Code nodes may still need configuration.

Sticky Note7
A form with no input fields initiates the process. Consider securing the form using Basic Auth.
Sticky Note8
Credentials are being fetched using the cmd tools, since there is no API endpoint available for this. The data is then converted into a JSON object.
Sticky Note9
A list of the instance names is being extracted from the settings and used as dynamic options for the dropdown in a new form page.
Sticky Note10
A list of the credential names is being extracted from the settings and used as dynamic options for the dropdown in a new form page.
Sticky Note11
Based on the selections made by the user, the necessary data is being provided.
Sticky Note12
The credential data is being transferred to the selected instance based using dynamic authentication
Sticky Note13
Display a confirmation/error message to the user

Purpose and structure
This folder contains the Credentials Transfer workflow. Its executable nodes use code, executeCommand, extractFromFile, form, formTrigger, httpRequest, readWriteFile, set. The table and connection map below are derived from the JSON, not an inferred guarantee of behavior.
Setup
Import inactive. Configure your own credentials and replace REPLACE_WITH_* values. Review external destinations and Code nodes before running.

Verification
Sanitized source candidate; not runtime-tested. This overview is generated from node metadata. Read the folder README for the connection map, credential types, and license.
