Automatic Backup of Workflows to GitHub with Email/Telegram Notifications

Description

Why?

Have you ever updated your n8n instance, or moved from one instance to the other and lost all your workflows? I suggest NOT DOING THAT! Especially if you have very complex workflows that would take days to recreate.

Make sure you have a backup process in place!

How it works

Get all workflows from an n8n instance using your n8n API
Formats the workflows cleanly
Creates a backup package
Checks if target GitHub repository exists, if not creates it
Uploads a manifest
Uploads a readme
Uploads your workflows as separate JSON files
Sends a summary to your choice (Telegram or GMAIL)

What it does
Backs up all your workflows
Splits them out into separate JSON files for each workflow
Sends a notification

What it doesn't do

Does not back up credentials (not smart for security reasons)
Does not delete old backups

Requirements
n8n
n8n API setup with credentials stored in instance you are running this from
GitHub user & API (with repository rights) setup (API key in Github, Credentials in n8n)
Future Updates

If I get requests for these features I would build them:

Rolling backups (delete further back than 3 days)
Logic to skip the backup if nothing changed
