Nice tips... Now I'm search for a way to access data from previous workflow. Do you have any example ?

Hi Oskar,

What should I do if I have a workflow that takes around 8 minutes to complete? When I initiate the API GET request in a new browser tab, it times out after about 2 minutes. However, the workflow continues to run and eventually completes in n8n, as I can see in the execution list. I'm expecting to receive a JSON response from the final "Respond to Webhook" node, but the request in the browser times out after 2 minutes, which prevents this from happening. How do you handle situations like this?

Hey Oskar. Thanks for video. I have a question. Before start to fully work in n8n i would like to know about backups, do you find solution for yourself how automaticaly do backups of all your workflows? i'm using command

docker exec -u node -it root-n8n-1 n8n export:workflow --all --output=backups/latest/

But each time i have error message that it si impossible to create execute mkdir and create folder for export

Folder must be created inside container or in my VPS machine
