hello, I want to migrate some moderately complex flows from make to n8n. The flows currently use connections to airtable, EZTexting, Google sheets, and Google Calendar as well as make data-store.
One of my main goals In moving to N8n Is getting the ability to easily Duplicate entire scenario flow (group of Nodes?) and then point them to a new airtable base – also a duplicate of the original base. In make this has proven to be quite challenging, though I have not tried exporting the Scenario XML using find/replace and re-importing it yet. The reason I need this is that I want dedicated sets of Airtable Bases for each ‘school’ that uses my system and I don’t want an error in one Scenario to clog up the works for all schools (ie each School has dedicated Flows/Nodes - also due to unique customizations per each school).
Can anyone tell me if this type of Scenario Duplication & re-pointing to New/Dup Airtable Base is easy in n8n?
In n8n you can duplicate a workflow with just a few clicks and from there, all you’d need to do would be to adjust the params of the Airtable node to link them to the correct base.
To move your workflows from Make to n8n you’d have to rebuild it manually to ensure all the functionalities are there since there isn’t a fully shared format between the two tools. But this is good to get you used to the n8n UI.
I don’t know if you’re planning to self-host or subscribe to one of our paid cloud plans, but regardless I’d suggest signing up for a trial account, where you can test your implementation without compromise. If then you want to subscribe, your work will be kept in your instance. If you want to self-host, you can export the workflow and import it into your hosted instance without needing to rebuild.
