N8N Integration → Delete Workflow

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Evolution API to delete a workflow in an n8n instance. It is useful for automating the management of workflows by programmatically removing workflows based on their ID and instance name. For example, it can be used in scenarios where workflows need to be cleaned up or removed as part of a larger automation process.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a specific workflow by providing the instance name and workflow ID to automate cleanup tasks.
  2. Removing outdated or unused workflows from an n8n instance programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Instance Name The name of the n8n instance where the workflow exists. This is required to identify the target instance for the delete operation.
Workflow ID The unique identifier of the workflow to be deleted. This is required to specify which workflow should be removed from the instance.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates whether the workflow deletion was successful.
  • message - Additional information or confirmation message about the deletion operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API to perform workflow deletion.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided instance name and workflow ID are correct and exist in the target n8n instance to avoid errors.
  • Check that the API key credential used has sufficient permissions to delete workflows.
  • Common error messages may include 'Unsupported operation' if the delete workflow function is not implemented or 'Workflow not found' if the ID does not exist.
