n8nctl workflows sync

n8nctl workflows sync¶

Promote a workflow to another instance (profile)

Synopsis¶

Copy a workflow from one instance to another over the API. Read-only fields (id, active state, version) are stripped; nodes, connections and settings are carried over. By default a new workflow is created on the destination; use --update-by-name to overwrite an existing workflow with the same name.

n8nctl workflows sync 2tUt1wbLX592XDdX --from dev --to prod --update-by-name --activate

Credentials are referenced by id and are NOT copied — create matching credentials on the destination first (see n8nctl credentials).

n8nctl workflows sync <id> --to <profile> [flags]

Options¶

      --activate         activate the workflow on the destination after syncing
      --from string      source profile (default: active profile)
  -h, --help             help for sync
      --to string        destination profile (required)
      --update-by-name   overwrite an existing destination workflow with the same name
