n8n Auto-Save Button Clicker
Extension Actions
Automatically clicks the Save button in the n8n editor at a user-defined interval.
Short Description:
Automatically clicks Save in any n8n workflow at the interval you choose—no more lost edits.
Detailed Description:
Keep your n8n workflows safe from accidental data loss. n8n Auto-Save Button Clicker silently presses the Save button on every workflow page at a schedule you set (1–180 minutes, default 5).
Key Features:
Hands-free saving – Auto-clicks Save in any /workflow/ URL, on cloud or self-hosted n8n
Adjustable interval – Click the extension icon → Options to pick the minutes between saves. Changes apply instantly
Manual save option – "Save All Open Workflows Now" button for immediate saving
Minimal footprint – Manifest V3, single chrome.alarms timer, no background polling
Private by design – No analytics or external calls; settings live only in chrome.storage.sync
How It Works:
Install the extension
Open an n8n workflow tab
The extension waits for the Save button to appear, then clicks it at your chosen interval
Console logs prefixed with [n8n-autosave] confirm each action
Use the popup to manually save all open workflows anytime
Permissions:
:///workflow/* – required to find and click the Save button on any n8n instance.
(You may restrict this to specific domains in manifest.json before publishing.)

Privacy Policy:
The extension neither collects nor transmits personal data. All configuration is stored locally via chrome.storage.sync.
