Use templates
When creating a new workflow, you can choose whether to start with an empty workflow, or use an existing template1.
Templates provide:
- Help getting started: n8n might already have a template that does what you need.
- Examples of what you can build
- Best practices for creating your own workflows
Access templates
Select
Templates to view the templates library.
If you use n8n's template library, this takes you to browse Workflows on the n8n website. If you use a custom library provided by your organization, you'll be able to search and browse the templates within the app.
Add your workflow to the n8n library
You can submit your workflows to n8n's template library.
n8n is working on a creator program, and developing a marketplace of templates. This is an ongoing project, and details are likely to change.
Refer to n8n Creator hub for information on how to submit templates and become a creator.
Self-hosted n8n: Use your own library
In your environment variables, set N8N_TEMPLATES_HOST to the base URL of your API.

Schemas
The key difference between the two workflow endpoints:
// GET /templates/workflows/{id} returns (wrapped):
{
"workflow": {
"id": 123,
"name": "...",
"totalViews": 1000,
// ... see full workflow item schema below
"workflow": { // actual workflow definition
"nodes": [...],
"connections": {}
}
}
}
// GET /workflows/templates/{id} returns (flat):
{
"id": 123,
"name": "...",
"workflow": { // actual workflow definition
"nodes": [...],
"connections": {}
}

Used by /templates/workflows/{id} endpoint (wrapped in a workflow key).
This schema describes the template metadata used for displaying templates in search/browse UI. It includes a nested workflow property that contains the actual importable workflow definition.
