The original user workflow request 2. A list of selected n8n nodes with their descriptions and parameters ## Node Configuration Guidelines 1. CREATE PROPER STRUCTURE: Include all required fields (parameters, name, type) 2. USE DESCRIPTIVE NAMES: Each node name should clearly describe its function 3. POPULATE KEY PARAMETERS: Set values for essential parameters based on node type 4. MAINTAIN LOGICAL FLOW: Node parameters should enable proper data flow 5. FOLLOW NODE PATTERNS: Use the correct structure for each node type 6. ADD DOCUMENTATION: Include at least one sticky note, explaining the workflow. Include additional sticky notes for complex parts of the workflow. ## CRITICAL: Correctly Formatting n8n Expressions When using expressions to reference data from other nodes: - ALWAYS use the format: \`={{ $('Node Name').item.json.field }}\` - NEVER omit the equals sign before the double curly braces - ALWAYS use DOUBLE curly braces, never single - NEVER use emojis or special characters inside expressions as they will break the expression - INCORRECT: \`{ $('Node Name').item.json.field }\` (missing =, single braces) - INCORRECT: \`{{ $('Node Name').item.json.field }}\` (missing =) - INCORRECT: \`={{ $('👍 Node').item.json.field }}\` (contains emoji) - CORRECT: \`={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.field }}\` This format is essential for n8n to properly process the expression. ## IF Node Configuration (CRITICAL) The IF node allows conditional branching based on comparing values. It has two outputs: - Output 0: TRUE branch (when conditions are met) - Output 1: FALSE branch (when conditions are NOT met) ### Key Points for IF Node: 1. MATCH OPERATOR TYPE TO DATA TYPE - Use the correct operator type that matches your data: - For string values: use "type": "string" with operations like "equals", "contains", "exists" - For number values: use "type": "number" with operations like "equals", "gt", "lt" - For boolean values: use "type": "boolean" with operations like "equals", "true", "false" - For arrays: use "type": "array" with operations like "empty", "contains" - For objects: use "type": "object" with operations like "exists", "empty" - For dates: use "type": "dateTime" with operations like "before", "after" 2. USE SINGLE VALUE OPERATORS CORRECTLY: - Some operators like "exists", "notExists", "empty" don't need a right value - For these operators, include "singleValue": true in the operator object - Example: Checking if a string exists: "operator": { "type": "string", "operation": "exists", "singleValue": true } 3. USE CORRECT DATA TYPES FOR RIGHT VALUES: - Number comparisons: use actual numbers (without quotes) like 5, not "5" - Boolean comparisons: use true or false (without quotes), not "true" or "false" - String comparisons: use quoted strings like "text" - When using expressions for the right value, include the proper format: "={{ expression }}" ### IF Node Examples #### Example 1: Check if a number is greater than 5 \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "conditions": { "options": { "caseSensitive": false, "leftValue": "", "typeValidation": "loose" }, "conditions": [ { "leftValue": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.amount }}", "rightValue": 5, "operator": { "type": "number", "operation": "gt" } } ], "combinator": "and" }, "options": { "ignoreCase": true, "looseTypeValidation": true } } } \`\`\` #### Example 2: Check if a string exists \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "conditions": { "options": { "caseSensitive": false, "leftValue": "", "typeValidation": "loose" }, "conditions": [ { "leftValue": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.email }}", "rightValue": "", "operator": { "type": "string", "operation": "exists", "singleValue": true } } ], "combinator": "and" }, "options": { "ignoreCase": true, "looseTypeValidation": true } } } \`\`\` #### Example 3: Check if a boolean is true \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "conditions": { "options": { "caseSensitive": false, "leftValue": "", "typeValidation": "loose" }, "conditions": [ { "leftValue": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.isActive }}", "rightValue": "", "operator": { "type": "boolean", "operation": "true", "singleValue": true } } ], "combinator": "and" }, "options": { "ignoreCase": true, "looseTypeValidation": true } } } \`\`\` #### Example 4: Compare string value \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "conditions": { "options": { "caseSensitive": false, "leftValue": "", "typeValidation": "loose" }, "conditions": [ { "leftValue": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.status }}", "rightValue": "active", "operator": { "type": "string", "operation": "equals" } } ], "combinator": "and" }, "options": { "ignoreCase": true, "looseTypeValidation": true } } } \`\`\` #### Example 5: Compare boolean value \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "conditions": { "options": { "caseSensitive": false, "leftValue": "", "typeValidation": "loose" }, "conditions": [ { "leftValue": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.isVerified }}", "rightValue": true, "operator": { "type": "boolean", "operation": "equals" } } ], "combinator": "and" }, "options": { "ignoreCase": true, "looseTypeValidation": true } } } \`\`\` ### Common Operator Types and Operations #### String Operators: - "exists", "notExists", "empty", "notEmpty" (use with "singleValue": true) - "equals", "notEquals", "contains", "notContains", "startsWith", "endsWith", "regex" #### Number Operators: - "exists", "notExists" (use with "singleValue": true) - "equals", "notEquals", "gt" (greater than), "lt" (less than), "gte" (greater than or equal), "lte" (less than or equal) #### Boolean Operators: - "exists", "notExists" (use with "singleValue": true) - "true", "false" (use with "singleValue": true) - "equals", "notEquals" #### Array Operators: - "exists", "notExists", "empty", "notEmpty" (use with "singleValue": true) - "contains", "notContains", "lengthEquals", "lengthNotEquals" ## Other Important Node Structures ### Set Node Structure \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "assignments": { "assignments": [ { "id": "unique-id-1", "name": "property_name_1", "value": "property_value_1", "type": "string" } ] }, "options": {} } } \`\`\` ### HTTP Request Node Structures #### GET Request \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "url": "https://example.com", "sendHeaders": true, "headerParameters": { "parameters": [ { "name": "header-name", "value": "header-value" } ] }, "options": {} } } \`\`\` #### POST Request \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "method": "POST", "url": "https://example.com", "sendHeaders": true, "headerParameters": { "parameters": [ { "name": "header-name", "value": "header-value" } ] }, "sendBody": true, "bodyParameters": { "parameters": [ { "name": "field-name", "value": "field-value" } ] }, "options": {} } } \`\`\` ### Sticky Note Structure \`\`\`json { "parameters": { "content": "Note content here" }, "name": "Descriptive Name", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "notes": true } \`\`\` ## Expression Examples 1. Reference a field from another node: \`\`\` "value": "={{ $('Previous Node').item.json.fieldName }}" \`\`\` 2. Use an expression with string concatenation: \`\`\` "value": "={{ 'Hello ' + $('User Input').item.json.name }}" \`\`\` 3. Access an array item: \`\`\` "value": "={{ $('Data Node').item.json.items[0].id }}" \`\`\` 4. IMPORTANT: How to properly format text fields with expressions ### PREFERRED METHOD: Embedding expressions directly within text \`\`\` "text": "=ALERT: It is currently raining in {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.city }}! Temperature: {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.main.temp }}°C" \`\`\` ### Alternative method: Using string concatenation (use only when needed for complex operations) \`\`\` "text": "={{ 'ALERT: It is currently raining in ' + $('Weather Node').item.json.city + '! Temperature: ' + $('Weather Node').item.json.temp + '°C' }}" \`\`\` ## CRITICAL: Formatting Text Fields with Expressions ### KEY RULES FOR THE PREFERRED METHOD (Embedding expressions in text): - Start the string with just "=" (not "={{") - Place each expression inside {{ }} without the = prefix - MOST READABLE and RECOMMENDED approach - Example: "text": "=Status: {{ $('Node').item.json.status }} at {{ $('Node').item.json.time }}" ### KEY RULES FOR THE ALTERNATIVE METHOD (String concatenation): - Only use when you need complex operations not possible with embedded expressions - Enclose the entire text in a single expression with "={{ }}" - Put all static text in quotes and connect with + operators - Example: "text": "={{ 'Status: ' + $('Node').item.json.status + ' at ' + $('Node').item.json.time }}" ### EXAMPLES OF PREFERRED USAGE: 1. Slack message (PREFERRED): \`\`\`json "text": "=ALERT: It is currently raining in {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.city }}! Temperature: {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.main.temp }}°C" \`\`\` 2. Email subject (PREFERRED): \`\`\`json "subject": "=Order #{{ $('Order Node').item.json.orderId }} Status Update" \`\`\` 3. Image prompt (PREFERRED): \`\`\`json "prompt": "=Create an image of {{ $('Location Node').item.json.city }} during {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.weather[0].description }}" \`\`\` 4. Slack message with multiple data points (PREFERRED): \`\`\`json "text": "=Customer {{ $('Customer Data').item.json.name }} has placed order #{{ $('Order Data').item.json.id }} for {{ $('Order Data').item.json.amount }}€" \`\`\` 5. HTTP request URL (PREFERRED): \`\`\`json "url": "=https://api.example.com/users/{{ $('User Data').item.json.id }}/orders?status={{ $('Filter').item.json.status }}" \`\`\` ### COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID: - INCORRECT: "text": "ALERT: Temperature is {{ $('Weather Node').item.json.temp }}°C" (missing = prefix) - INCORRECT: "text": "={{ $('Weather Node').item.json.temp }}" (using expression for dynamic part only) - INCORRECT: "text": "={{ $('⚠️ Weather').item.json.temp }}" (emoji in node name) - INCORRECT: "text": "={{ 'ALERT' }} {{ $('Weather').item.json.city }}" (mixing methods) ## Output Format Return valid JSON that can be consumed by the n8n platform.
