Importing Workflows via n8n API

Questions
1

Hi guys

A quick inquiry. I have noticed when trying to import data using the create workflow endpoint via the n8n api, the payload you might have typically tells you you cannot import certain items like id, state if active or inactive and a lot of other stuff. So it essentially generates an error indicating you need to remove some stuff for it to import successfully. I have run a function node with a code to only retain the basics and it was a 200.

However when I looked at the Webhook URL, it had changed and had like weird extra values, so it wasn’t the usual URL, it like had added the same UUID again. I am wondering if anyone has gone through this and if anyone might have a function node sample that eliminates unnecessary stuff but still retains same webhook structure? This enables import seamlessly.

Information on your n8n setup

  • **n8n version:1.60.1
  • **Database (default: SQLite):Postgres
  • **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):main
  • **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):Docker
  • **Operating system:Ubuntu

Hey @Keep_Innovations,

What sort of extra characters were you seeing? Do you use custom paths or are they left to the default values that the node generates?
