💻 Schedule workflow activity time
Configured with N8N, Schedule Trigger. Review the connections and setup before adapting this template.
Node categories in this workflow
- Integration
- Transform
- 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| n8n Activate | Integration | N8N | activate |
| n8n Deactivate | Integration | N8N | deactivate |
| Workflow ID | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Merge in Workflow ID for deactivation | Transform | Merge | See node parameters |
| Merge in Workflow ID for activation | Transform | Merge | See node parameters |
| Activate at 08:00 daily | Trigger | Schedule Trigger | See node parameters |
| Deactivate at 20:00 daily | Trigger | Schedule 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
n8nApi

You will find it in the URL of the workflow you want to manage.
Set Activate/deactivate schedule
Set Activate/deactivate schedule
Custom (cron) interval is a recommended approach.

Set n8n API credentials
-
Create an API key: https://docs.n8n.io/api/authentication/
-
Create n8n credentials using the API key
This workflow uses n8n node.
⚠️ Warning!
⚠️ Warning!
This approach won't work for trial users as it requires n8n API that is not available to trial users. See https://docs.n8n.io/api/ for details.

Purpose and structure
This folder contains the 💻 Schedule workflow activity time workflow. Its executable nodes use merge, n8n, scheduleTrigger, 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.
Entry points
Activate at 08:00 daily, Deactivate at 20:00 daily
