# 📂 Repository Organization

#

#

# Workflow Collection

- **2,053 workflows

*

* with meaningful, searchable names

- **365 unique integrations

*

* across popular platforms

- **29,445 total nodes

*

* with professional categorization

- **Quality assurance

*

*

 

- All workflows analyzed and categorized

#

#

# Advanced Naming System ✨
Our intelligent naming system converts technical filenames into readable titles:

- **Before**: `2051_Telegram_Webhook_Automation_Webhook.json`

- **After**: `Telegram Webhook Automation`

- **100% meaningful names

*

* with smart capitalization

- **Automatic integration detection

*

* from node analysis

#

#

# Use Case Category ✨

The search interface includes a dropdown filter that lets you browse 2,000

+ workflows by category.

The system includes an automated categorization feature that organizes workflows by service categories to make them easier to discover and filter.

#

#

# How Categorization Works

1. **Run the categorization script

*

*
   

```text

text

text
   python create_categories.py
   

```text

text

text

2. **Service Name Recognition

*

*
   The script analyzes each workflow JSON filename to identify recognized service names (e.g., "Twilio", "Slack", "Gmail", etc.)

3. **Category Mapping

*

*
   Each recognized service name is matched to its corresponding category using the definitions in `context/def_categories.json`. For example:

   - Twilio → Communication & Messaging

   - Gmail → Communication & Messaging

  

   - Airtable → Data Processing & Analysis

   - Salesforce → CRM & Sales

4. **Search Categories Generation

*

*
   The script produces a `search_categories.json` file that contains the categorized workflow data

5. **Filter Interface

*

*
   Users can then filter workflows by category in the search interface, making it easier to find workflows for specific use cases

#

#

# Available Categories

The categorization system includes the following main categories:

- AI Agent Development

- Business Process Automation

- Cloud Storage & File Management

- Communication & Messaging

- Creative Content & Video Automation

- Creative Design Automation

- CRM & Sales

- Data Processing & Analysis

- E-commerce & Retail

- Financial & Accounting

- Marketing & Advertising Automation

- Project Management

- Social Media Management

- Technical Infrastructure & DevOps

- Web Scraping & Data Extraction

#

#

# Contribute Categories

You can help expand the categorization by adding more service-to-category mappings (e.g., Twilio → Communication & Messaging) in context/defs_categories.json.

Many workflow JSON files are conveniently named with the service name, often separated by underscores (_).
