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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| When clicking "Test Workflow" | Trigger | Manual Trigger | See node parameters |
| API Auth | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| CREATE | Web / API | HTTP Request | POST |
| IF Slug available | Routing | If | See node parameters |
| RETRIEVE | Web / API | HTTP Request | See node parameters |
| UPDATE | Web / API | HTTP Request | PUT |
| Shortened URL | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Done | Transform | Edit Fields | 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.
