n-eight-n Workflows is open-source, and you can report a bug or request a new feature at: https://github.com/mgarciate/n8n-workflows-ios/issues This iPhone app is designed to activate and deactivate workflows in the n8n service. It works seamlessly with both self-hosted and cloud instances of n8n. Setting it up is simple: just enter the domain or IP address of your instance, along with the API key that can be obtained from the n8n configuration panel. In addition to managing workflows, you can also view the most recent executions for any specific workflow. The most exciting feature? The app integrates with the iPhone's Shortcuts app. This means you can trigger workflows without even opening the app, making it easier to activate or deactivate workflows with just a voice command or automation. You can further automate workflows by combining them with your iPhone’s built-in automations, such as activating a workflow based on your location, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, or when opening and closing specific apps. This flexibility allows you to streamline and automate your workflows with ease, boosting your productivity and efficiency.
