# Deployment Guide: Chattrigger Workflow
## Pre-Deployment Checklist
### ✅ Environment Setup
- [ ] n8n instance is running and accessible
- [ ] Required credentials are configured
- [ ] Environment variables are set
- [ ] Network connectivity to external services
### ✅ Workflow Validation
- [ ] Workflow JSON is valid
- [ ] All nodes are properly configured
- [ ] Connections are correctly established
- [ ] Error handling is implemented
### ✅ Security Review
- [ ] No sensitive data in workflow JSON
- [ ] Credentials use secure storage
- [ ] Webhook endpoints are secured
- [ ] Access controls are in place
## Deployment Methods
### Method 1: Direct Import
1. Copy the workflow JSON
2. In n8n, go to Workflows > Import
3. Paste the JSON content
4. Save and configure credentials
### Method 2: File Upload
1. Save workflow as `.json` file
2. Use n8n import functionality
3. Upload the file
4. Review and activate
### Method 3: API Deployment
```bash
# Example using n8n API
curl -X POST "http://your-n8n-instance/api/v1/workflows" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d @workflow.json
```
## Post-Deployment Configuration
### 1. Credential Setup
Configure these credentials in n8n:
- **googlePalmApi**: [Instructions for setting up googlePalmApi]
- **airtableTokenApi**: [Instructions for setting up airtableTokenApi]
### 2. Environment Variables
Set these environment variables:
- `WEBHOOK_URL`: [Description of what this variable should contain]
### 3. Webhook Configuration
No webhook endpoints to configure.
## Testing & Validation
### 1. Test Execution
- Run workflow in test mode
- Verify all nodes execute successfully
- Check data transformations
- Validate output format
### 2. Integration Testing
- Test with real data sources
- Verify external API connections
- Check error handling scenarios
- Monitor performance metrics
### 3. Load Testing
- Test with expected data volume
- Monitor execution time
- Check resource usage
- Verify scalability
## Monitoring & Maintenance
### Monitoring Setup
- Enable execution logging
- Set up performance monitoring
- Configure error alerts
- Monitor webhook usage
### Maintenance Tasks
- Regular credential rotation
- Update API endpoints if needed
- Monitor for deprecated nodes
- Review and optimize performance
### Backup & Recovery
- Export workflow regularly
- Backup credential configurations
- Document custom configurations
- Test recovery procedures
## Production Considerations
### Security
- Use HTTPS for webhook endpoints
- Implement proper authentication
- Regular security audits
- Monitor access logs
### Performance
- Expected execution time: 30+ seconds
- Monitor resource usage
- Optimize for your data volume
- Consider rate limiting
### Reliability
- Implement retry logic
- Set up monitoring alerts
- Plan for disaster recovery
- Regular health checks
