# n8n Workflow Helpers
|

|
|
||||||
|
## Node Creation Guidelines
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Basic Node Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id": "unique-node-id",
|
||||||
|
"name": "Node Name",
|
||||||
|
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.nodeName",
|
||||||
|
"typeVersion": 1,
|
||||||
|
"position": [x, y],
|
||||||
|
"parameters": {},
|
||||||
|
"credentials": {}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Node Positioning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Start node: [250, 300]
|
||||||
|
- Horizontal spacing: 220px between nodes
|
||||||
|
- Vertical spacing: 100px for parallel branches
|
||||||
|
- Grid alignment: Snap to 20px grid for clean layout
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Common Node Types
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Trigger Nodes:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.webhook` - HTTP webhook trigger
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger` - Cron/interval trigger
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger` - Manual execution trigger
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.emailTrigger` - Email trigger
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Action Nodes:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest` - HTTP API calls
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.set` - Data transformation
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.code` - Custom JavaScript/Python code
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.if` - Conditional branching
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.merge` - Merge data from multiple branches
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.splitInBatches` - Process data in batches
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Integration Nodes:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets` - Google Sheets
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.slack` - Slack
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.notion` - Notion
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.airtable` - Airtable
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.postgres` - PostgreSQL
|
||||||
|
- `n8n-nodes-base.mysql` - MySQL
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Connection Guidelines
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Connection Structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"node": "Source Node Name",
|
||||||
|
"type": "main",
|
||||||
|
"index": 0
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Connection Rules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Each connection has a source node and target node
|
||||||
|
2. Main connections use type: "main"
|
||||||
|
3. Index 0 is default output, index 1+ for conditional branches
|
||||||
|
4. IF nodes have index 0 (true) and index 1 (false)
|
||||||
|
5. Always validate that referenced node names exist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Connection Patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Linear Flow:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Trigger → Action1 → Action2 → End
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Conditional Branch:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Trigger → IF Node → [true: Action1, false: Action2] → Merge
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Parallel Processing:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Trigger → Split → [Branch1, Branch2, Branch3] → Merge
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Error Handling Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Error Workflow Pattern
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "Error Handler",
|
||||||
|
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.errorTrigger",
|
||||||
|
"parameters": {
|
||||||
|
"errorWorkflows": ["workflow-id"]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Retry Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"retryOnFail": true,
|
||||||
|
"maxTries": 3,
|
||||||
|
"waitBetweenTries": 1000
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Data Transformation Patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using Set Node
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "Transform Data",
|
||||||
|
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.set",
|
||||||
|
"parameters": {
|
||||||
|
"mode": "manual",
|
||||||
|
"values": {
|
||||||
|
"string": [
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "outputField",
|
||||||
|
"value": "={{ $json.inputField }}"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using Code Node
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "Custom Logic",
|
||||||
|
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.code",
|
||||||
|
"parameters": {
|
||||||
|
"language": "javaScript",
|
||||||
|
"jsCode": "return items.map(item => ({ json: { ...item.json, processed: true } }));"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Credentials Management
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Credential Reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"credentials": {
|
||||||
|
"httpBasicAuth": {
|
||||||
|
"id": "credential-id",
|
||||||
|
"name": "My API Credentials"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Common Credential Types
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `httpBasicAuth` - Basic authentication
|
||||||
|
- `oAuth2Api` - OAuth2
|
||||||
|
- `httpHeaderAuth` - Header-based auth
|
||||||
|
- `httpQueryAuth` - Query parameter auth
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workflow Metadata
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required Fields
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"name": "Workflow Name",
|
||||||
|
"nodes": [],
|
||||||
|
"connections": {},
|
||||||
|
"active": false,
|
||||||
|
"settings": {
|
||||||
|
"executionOrder": "v1"
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
"tags": []
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Validation Checklist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [ ] All node IDs are unique
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
