N8n template link for distribution

Hello guys I’ve recently added Chroma node to n8n and I want to create some templates using it. Currently I don’t have a n8n creator account or publication. Can I distribute the JSON of the template before publishing to n8n template collection?

yeah you can totally distribute the JSON directly - just export your workflow as JSON and share it however you want (github, gist, forum post, etc). people can import it by going to workflows > import from file/text.

the n8n creator program is mainly for getting your templates featured in the official marketplace, but sharing raw workflow JSON works fine for distribution. if you want to eventually get it published, you’d need to set up that creator account, but no need to wait on that to share what you’ve built.

yeah you can totally distribute the JSON directly - just export your workflow as JSON and share it. people can import it by going to workflows > import from file or pasting the JSON directly into a new workflow. the only thing you’d be missing is the nice UI preview and discoverability that comes with being in the official template collection, but functionally itll work the same. once you get a creator account set up you can publish it properly, but no need to wait on that if people want to test it now
