"How to Trigger an n8n Workflow" matching MCP tools:
- Create a reusable workflow tag in n8n. Persists a new label without assigning it to workflows, ready for later use.MIT
- Create a conditional trigger that periodically evaluates a plain-language condition and activates a workflow when the condition is met.MIT
- Trigger a Shuffle SOAR workflow using its workflow ID and an optional JSON body. Every invocation is authenticated and produces a cryptographic ProofLink receipt.MIT
- Deploy a workflow to a live n8n instance by providing its JSON definition. Use with workflow.generate to turn a description into an active workflow.MIT
- Test any n8n workflow by automatically detecting trigger type and applying the correct testing method with structured results and error diagnosis.MIT

Build and manage Cloudgate workflow-APIs: controllers, actions, workflow graphs, and databases.
- List, view, trigger, and cancel evaluation test runs for n8n workflows, with per-case results and aggregated metrics.MIT
- Get a recommended workflow for looking up n8n nodes, validating configs, and managing live instances. Use as a starting point when unsure where to begin.BSD 2-Clause "Simplified"
- Get an n8n workflow by ID with selectable detail levels: full draft, published graph, execution stats, node topology, or filtered nodes.MIT
- Retrieve trigger details for an Azure Logic App workflow, including last and next execution times. Requires subscription, resource group, and logic app name; workflow name needed for Standard SKU.MIT
- Retry a failed or stopped execution by ID; if the API lacks retry support, re-trigger the workflow via webhook.MIT
- Trigger and test n8n workflows by sending webhooks, form data, or chat messages. Auto-detects trigger type and supports custom payloads.MIT
- Retrieve an n8n workflow by ID with configurable detail levels, from minimal metadata to full published graph, including draft, active, and execution stats.MIT
- Apply incremental changes to an n8n workflow using diff operations like addNode, removeNode, and updateNode. Update specific nodes, connections, or settings without replacing the entire workflow.MIT
- Manage workflow version history: list, get, rollback, delete, or prune versions. Rollback creates a backup automatically, and old backups are pruned based on retention rules.MIT
- Export n8n workflows as JSON files for backup purposes or to transfer them between different n8n instances.MIT
- Retrieve the complete nodes and connections JSON of a workflow by its ID from a live n8n instance for auditing or analysis.MIT
- Fetch a workflow JSON by ID from n8n. Returns the full nodes and connections payload for auditing or analysis.MIT
- Generate n8n workflows from plain English descriptions. Propose, preview, and deploy with AI assistance.MIT
- Build and activate custom n8n workflows programmatically by defining nodes, connections, and settings. Supports automatic triggers for immediate workflow execution.MIT
