What Is Workflow Documentation?

Workflow documentation describes what your automation does, how data flows between nodes, and why certain decisions were made. Good documentation includes the trigger source, each transformation step, external services connected, error handling approach, and expected outcomes. It's essential for maintenance, handoffs, and troubleshooting.

Why Document Your n8n Workflows

Undocumented workflows become technical debt. When the original creator leaves or forgets the details, troubleshooting becomes guesswork. Documentation also helps with compliance audits, client handoffs, and team collaboration. Yet most n8n users skip documentation because it's tedious - this tool automates the boring parts.

Name your nodes descriptively (not 'HTTP Request 1')

Version your documentation when making significant changes

Frequently Asked Questions

What format is the generated documentation?

You can choose Markdown (great for GitHub, Notion, or wikis), Plain Text (simple and universal), or Technical format (includes data schemas and detailed node configurations). Markdown is recommended for most use cases.

What information is included in the documentation?

The documentation includes workflow overview, trigger description, node-by-node breakdown, data flow visualization, required credentials list, error handling approach, and any sticky notes from your workflow. It captures the essential information for understanding and maintaining the automation.

Does it document sticky notes and comments?

Yes. Any sticky notes in your workflow are extracted and included in the documentation. This is why adding sticky notes in n8n is valuable—they become part of your generated documentation automatically.
