search_templates

Find workflow templates by searching names or descriptions using specific keywords. Use to locate automation templates without node-based results, streamlining workflow creation in n8n.

Instructions

Search templates by name/description keywords. NOT for node types! For nodes use list_node_templates. Example: "chatbot".

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`limit`	No	Maximum number of results. Default 20.
`query`	Yes	Search query for template names/descriptions. NOT for node types! Examples: "chatbot", "automation", "social media", "webhook". For node-based search use list_node_templates instead.
