# 🧠 N8N Workflow Collection & Documentation

This repository contains a comprehensive collection of **2000+ n8n workflows** with an automated documentation system that provides detailed analysis and interactive browsing capabilities.

## 📊 Interactive Documentation

**Generate comprehensive documentation for all workflows:**

```bash
python3 generate_documentation.py
```

Then open `workflow-documentation.html` in your browser for:

- 🔍 **Advanced Search & Filtering** - Find workflows by name, integration, or trigger type
- 📈 **Statistics Dashboard** - Workflow counts, complexity metrics, and insights  
- 🎯 **Smart Analysis** - Automatic categorization and description generation
- 🌙 **Dark/Light Themes** - Accessible design with WCAG compliance
- 📱 **Responsive Interface** - Works on desktop and mobile
- 📄 **JSON Viewer** - Examine raw workflow files with copy/download
- 🏷️ **Intelligent Tagging** - Automatic trigger type and complexity detection

### Features

The documentation system automatically analyzes each workflow to extract:
- **Trigger Types**: Manual, Webhook, Scheduled, or Complex
- **Complexity Levels**: Low (≤5 nodes), Medium (6-15), High (16+)
- **Integrations**: All external services and APIs used
- **Descriptions**: AI-generated summaries of workflow functionality
- **Metadata**: Creation dates, tags, node counts, and more

## 🤝 Contribution

Found a useful workflow or created your own? Contributions welcome!

**Adding Workflows:**
1. Export your workflow as JSON from n8n
2. Add the file to the `workflows/` directory with a descriptive name
3. Run `python3 generate_documentation.py` to update documentation
4. Submit a pull request

**Guidelines:**
- Use descriptive filenames (e.g., `slack_notification_system.json`)
- Test workflows before contributing
- Remove sensitive data (credentials, URLs, etc.)

---

## 🚀 Quick Start
