Get your workflows out of Pipedream and into n8n, one honest step at a time.

Pipedream Workflows shuts down on March 31, 2027. Drop in your project export and get n8n workflows you can import, plus a report that says which steps came across cleanly, which need a look, and which need you.

Convert a workflow What's shutting down, and when

Pipedream code step

async run({ steps, $ }) {
  const email = steps.trigger.event.body.email
  if (!email) return $.flow.exit("no email")
  $.export("domain", email.split("@")[1])
}

n8n Code node

const email = $('trigger').first().json.body.email
if (!email) return __pd.flow.exit("no email")
__pd.export("domain", email.split("@")[1])
// … returns [{ json: { $return_value, domain } }]

Fig. 1. Step references become n8n expressions; $.export and $.flow.exit keep working through a small, readable stand-in.

The converter

Upload the export ZIP or a GitHub Sync repository, paste one workflow's JSON or YAML, or try a sample.

Upload files Upload folder Load a sample

In Pipedream: Project Settings › Export Workflows (the ZIP lands in your File Store). Or connect the project to GitHub and upload that repository. How to export.

Your workflows never leave this page. There's no server behind the converter, no analytics and no cookies. Pipedream's export already leaves out keys and tokens, and we never ask for them.

What converts, and how well

Node versions and parameters were checked against n8n 2.43.7 on October 18, 2026. “Partial” means the node imports and works but something behaves differently; the report spells out what. Anything not listed still converts, as an HTTP Request node with your settings filled in and a link to the Pipedream action's source.

Pipedream	n8n	Coverage	What to know
Triggers
`HTTP / Webhook`	Webhook	Converted	Method, custom responses and header auth carry over. The URL changes: update whoever calls it.
`Schedule (cron or interval)`	Schedule Trigger	Converted	Cron expressions and intervals; the timezone moves to workflow settings.
`App sources (e.g. new Shopify order), email, forms`	Manual Trigger placeholder	Needs you	The matching n8n trigger is named in the report when there is one.
Code
`Node.js step`	Code (JavaScript)	Converted	steps.x references, $.export, $.flow.exit and $.respond are rewritten. Pipedream axios goes through n8n’s HTTP helper. Secrets, $.service.db and other npm packages are flagged.
`Python step`	Code (Python, native) + a small prep node	Partial	pd.steps, pd.export and pd.flow.exit work; imports and classes are limited by n8n’s sandbox.
`Bash and Go steps`	No Operation marker	Needs you	n8n has no Bash or Go Code node; rewrite in JavaScript or use Execute Command (self-hosted).
Control flow
`If / else, switch`	If (chained for several branches)	Converted	Equals, contains, starts/ends with, greater/less than, true/false, exists, in list. Grouped rules become one expression (partial).
`Filter (continue / end when)`	Filter or If	Converted
`Delay (helper or $.flow.delay)`	Wait	Converted	$.flow.delay inside code is flagged.
`End workflow`	No Operation, or If with the true side unconnected	Converted
`Parallel branches`	Branches + Merge	Partial	n8n runs them one after another.
`Loops, AI agent steps`	No Operation marker	Needs you	Rebuild with Loop Over Items or the AI Agent node.
App actions
`http-custom-request, http-get/post/put/patch/delete-request`	HTTP Request	Converted	Method, URL, query, headers and body carry over. Auth must be re-entered as a credential.
`http-return-http-response`	Respond to Webhook	Converted	Status, headers and body. The Webhook trigger is switched to "Using Respond to Webhook node".
`slack(_v2)-send-message, -send-message-to-channel`	Slack › Message › Send	Converted	Channel and text. Blocks and bot settings are flagged.
`google_sheets-add-single-row`	Google Sheets › Append Row	Converted	Named columns carry over; positional rows are listed for you to map.
`gmail-send-email`	Gmail › Message › Send	Converted	To, subject, body, CC, BCC, reply-to, sender name. Attachments flagged.
`openai-chat`	OpenAI › Text › Message a model	Converted	Model, system and user message. The reply field name changes (flagged).
`airtable(_oauth)-create-single-record`	Airtable › Record › Create	Converted	Base, table and fields.
`notion-create-page(-from-database)`	Notion › Page / Database page › Create	Converted	Parent and title. Typed properties and blocks are flagged.
`github-create-issue`	GitHub › Issue › Create	Converted	Owner, repository, title, body, labels, assignees.
`discord-send-message`	Discord › Webhook › Send	Converted	Message, username, avatar.
`telegram_bot_api-send-text-message-or-reply`	Telegram › Message › Send	Converted	Chat, text, parse mode, reply-to.
`twilio-send-message`	Twilio › SMS › Send	Converted	From, to, body.
`email-send-email-to-self`	Send Email (SMTP)	Converted	Subject and body; you add the SMTP credential and addresses.
`Every other action (2,000+ apps)`	HTTP Request with the app’s n8n credential	Needs you	Your values go in the body; the report links the action’s source for its URL and method.
`Private components, data stores`	No Operation marker	Needs you	Their code and data aren’t in the export.

The deadline, from Pipedream's own pages

Checked on October 18, 2026. Pipedream Connect, the developer product, isn't affected.

Now
Maintenance mode. “Your existing workflows will keep running normally through March 31, 2027, but we're no longer accepting signups or subscriptions.” Pipedream docs
Mar 31, 2027
Workflows and String shut down. Subscriptions are cancelled that day with a prorated refund. Pipedream docs

Everything is deleted, “including the credentials and OAuth tokens for your connected accounts.” Export each project before then. Export docs

How this compares

Two other converters exist, and both are worth a look. Facts below are from their own sites on October 18, 2026; prices can change.

Feature	This converter	MigrateFlows	Workflow Exit
Price	Free, no limit	Free during beta; future pricing not stated. Done-for-you from $190	Report and 1 workflow free; then $49 (25), $149 (100) or $399 (500), one-time
Where it runs	In your browser	In your browser	Report in your browser; paid conversion uses AI calls on code
Code steps	Rewritten in place: step references become n8n expressions; a short stand-in keeps `$.export`, `$.flow.exit` and `$.respond`	Kept with a compatibility layer; Python in beta	Compatibility shim plus AI rewrites
Actions it doesn't know	HTTP Request node with your settings and a link to the action's source	Stops with a clear error	Listed in the report
Report	Every step: converted, partial or needs you, with the reason	Summary of supported and unsupported steps	Readiness report
Email address needed	No	No	Optional, for reminders

Workflow Exit says it was tested on 395 real workflows and has an open-source CLI; ours was tested on hand-written exports (see the limits below). If you'd rather pay someone to do the whole move, MigrateFlows' done-for-you service is the only one of the three that offers it.

Limits, plainly

Has this been tested on real Pipedream exports?

Not on real accounts. Pipedream hasn't published a schema for its export files, so the converter was built from Pipedream's documentation and its open-source components, and tested on realistic exports we wrote by hand. It reads several shapes of the same data to be safe. Every converted workflow was then checked against n8n 2.43.7's own node definitions and imported into a local n8n 2.43.7, where two of them ran end to end through real webhooks (if/else branches, a Python step, a custom HTTP response). If your export trips it up, the report says which step.

How do I export from Pipedream?

Project Settings › Export Workflows writes a ZIP into the project's File Store; download it and drop it here (Pipedream's guide). It holds up to 500 workflows or 256 MB per run, and skips workflows that were never deployed. If your plan doesn't include File Stores, connect the project to GitHub (GitHub Sync) and upload that repository as a ZIP or folder. GitHub Sync keeps only trigger IDs, so you'll set schedules and webhook options again; the report reminds you.

What never comes across?

Secrets and connected accounts (Pipedream redacts them, and we wouldn't want them anyway), environment variables, data stores, and the code of private components. App triggers like “New Shopify order” become a placeholder with the matching n8n trigger named. Loops, AI agent steps, $.flow.delay, $.flow.rerun and $.send are marked “Needs you”.

Will my Node.js code run on n8n Cloud?

Usually, with care. n8n Cloud's Code node can only load crypto and moment; self-hosted n8n needs NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_BUILTIN or NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL for anything else, including crypto. n8n 2.0 also blocks $env in Code nodes by default (n8n 2.0 changes), so process.env reads are flagged. Calls through Pipedream's axios are routed through n8n's own HTTP helper.

And Python?

n8n's native Python Code node (docs) only sees its input items, so the converter adds a small JavaScript node before it that gathers the steps your code reads. The sandbox doesn't allow classes or, on n8n Cloud, imports; the stand-in for pd is written without them. Python steps are always marked at least “Partial”.

Why are some app actions an HTTP Request node?

Because a wrong mapping is worse than an obvious gap. When we can't be sure an n8n node does the same thing, you get an HTTP Request node using the app's n8n credential, with your configured values in the body and a link to the Pipedream action's source so you can copy its URL and method. The report marks it “Needs you”.

How are if/else conditions translated?

Pipedream's condition operators (equals, contains, greater than, exists, in list and so on) become n8n If and Filter conditions. Grouped conditions turn into one expression. An operator we don't recognise becomes an always-false condition, marked “Needs you”, so nothing runs by accident.

Is this affiliated with Pipedream or n8n?

No. Pipedream is a trademark of Pipedream, Inc.; n8n is a trademark of n8n GmbH. This is an independent, free tool.
