Quick Overview This workflow helps you set and maintain n8n credential overwrites by fetching credential schemas via the n8n REST API and registering overwrite values on every n8n startup using the credential overwrite endpoint. How it works Runs manually to collect your target credential type and n8n base URL for testing. Calls the n8n REST API to fetch the schema for the specified credential type so you can see which fields are available to overwrite. Triggers when n8n starts and sends a POST request to the credential overwrite endpoint to register the overwrite payload. Stores the overwrite JSON securely inside an HTTP custom auth credential and uses it as the request body to apply defaults that users cannot change in the UI. Setup Self-host n8n and set CREDENTIALS_OVERWRITE_ENDPOINT=creds-overwrite (and CREDENTIALS_OVERWRITE_PERSISTENCE=true if you run queue mode). Create an n8n API key with at least read permissions, add it as an n8n API credential, and set the correct base URL in the schema request. Enter the credential type name you want to overwrite (for example googleOAuth2Api) in the input fields used by the manual test.

Listen on new emails on a IMAP mailbox
Listen on new emails on a given IMAP mailbox. Converts the binary XML attachment to a stringified xmlproperty on the $data object and converts it to JSON. The Setnode could be replaced with Function nodes for example to do a conversion/mapping/transformation. The JSON is ultimately sent to a HTTP Endpoint via POST. This could be a starter for EDI purposes like receiving or transmitting XML data and conversion via JSON object property mapping.
