Import a workflow or a node directly by entering it in a textarea

The idea is:

Import a workflow or a node directly by entering it in a textarea, not via a file.

My use case:

When I want to import a workflow, most of the time it’s generated by an AI to start with and I customize it afterwards in N8N. But every time I do, I have to create a JSON file to import it. What I’d like to suggest is to add a textarea for the import, allowing me to directly paste the workflow in it.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

I think it will save time for a lot of people.

Any resources to support this?

Are you willing to work on this?

Yes I’d like to work on it and I’m ready to start when I have the permission :slight_smile:

Hello there @Doulla1

You don’t need to create a .json file to import a workflow.

You can CTRL+C from any text and CTRL+V inside N8N.

This works no matter where the JSON comes from: an AI message, a website, a text file, or a chat.
