- set credentials (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: n8n, username, password
- login n8n (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)
- my-projects (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- Split Out: splits a list into separate items
- Filter: keeps only the items that match a condition
- get tags (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- tags to string (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: name
- Code: runs custom JavaScript code
- select tags to move (n8n Form): shows the next form page
- Split Out: splits a list into separate items
