Key ideas in Business Automation with n8n
- Nodes in n8n are functional units that can add, remove, or rename fields in the JSON object
- n8n treats every piece of data as a key-value pair within a JSON object
- The output of a node is a new state of the data, not just a copy of the input
- Granular control means you can reference specific nested keys using expressions
- Branching allows n8n to follow different paths based on data conditions
- The Merge node combines data from two separate paths before continuing the workflow
- Nodes modify data structure rather than just relaying it
- The Execution Tab stores a snapshot of the JSON data for every node in a run
- Identifying how branching and merging handle complex business logic
- Debugging involves clicking a specific node in the history to see its input and output
- Mapping JSON structure to n8n's granular data handling
- Using execution data to debug specific points in a workflow
- The Wait node offloads the workflow to the database, allowing it to resume days later
- Wait nodes turn simple automations into persistent business processes like drip campaigns
- OAuth 2.0 allows n8n to access specific data without the client sharing their main password
- API keys provide permanent access and are harder for non-technical clients to manage safely
