JSON import issues

Questions
1

I am using a workflow editor that isnt the built in n8nAi tool, and I am having trouble with copying in the JSON files.

I am not getting any response at all when I try to import from a file, or to import by copying and pasting the code in.

This feels like a setting is missing or off, anyone run into an issue like this before? I have been up and down the forum and cant find anything related to this.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.119.2
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
  • Operating system: windows 10

It sounds like the JSON file might not be formatted correctly or there could be an issue with the editor you’re using. Here’s what you can try:

- Double-check the JSON file for any syntax errors using a JSON validator.

- Ensure the JSON structure matches n8n’s workflow format.

- If copying and pasting, try clearing the clipboard and pasting again.

If the issue persists, consider using the built-in n8n editor to import the JSON file directly.
