Where to share and promote your n8n workflows

34 places to publish an n8n workflow, tutorial or automation product, grouped by type. Each entry says what it is good for, how to post there and what kind of link to expect. Most community links are nofollow — their value is real readers and feedback, not ranking signals.

Link policies change. Entries marked “Check before posting” are ones where you should confirm the current rules yourself. Always remove credentials, API keys and pinned data from a workflow before sharing it.
