I manage different client environment and use n8n to automate some operations.
For each clients I duplicate nodes and change for each nodes a parameters in the node name and inside nodes (HTTP Requests and body and/or inside functions)
It takes a lot of time to do it for each workflow and for every nodes.
Do you have an idea to duplicate nodes and replace at once a single parameter (my name for example “Jeremy” to “Nicolas” each time my name exist in the nodes/workflow) ?
Here an example of a workflow. Each line of nodes correspond to one client. If I want to add a client I will have to copy and past and change every time I see the name of the previous inside a node into the new client name…

Hi @jeremydahan, if you have separate workflows per client, I think the easiest way would be to export your workflow, for example through our REST API. This should give you a JSON representation of your workflow in which you can perform a quick find & replace. Once done, remove the ID of the workflow (to avoid overwriting an existing workflow by accident), give it a new name and save it as a new workflow.
If you have everything in one workflow you can copy just the required nodes and update the existing workflow instead of creating a new one, though I think this will be a lot more work to implement.
On the actual use case I’d check if your can re-use your existing workflow for each client and then reference the changing data via expressions in your flow. Or is this not working for some reason?
