Converts markdown descriptions from Airtable records to HTML format.

About This Workflow

This workflow is designed to fetch video descriptions from an Airtable base, convert them from Markdown to HTML, and then update the Airtable records with the generated HTML. This is useful for displaying formatted descriptions on web pages or other platforms that require HTML.

Key Features

Fetches records from a specified Airtable base and table.
Supports processing either a single record (identified by recordId in query parameters) or all records.
Utilizes the markdown node to convert Markdown text to HTML.
Updates the 'Video description HTML' field in Airtable with the converted HTML.
Handles the logic to differentiate between single record updates and batch updates.

How To Use

Trigger: This workflow can be triggered manually or via an external event (e.g., an HTTP request to an n8n webhook).
Check Record Type: The 'Check if it's 1 record or all records - Airtable' node determines if a recordId is provided in the query parameters. If recordId exists, it proceeds to fetch a single record.
Fetch Single Record: If processing a single record, the 'Get single record from airtable' node fetches the specific record using the provided recordId.
Convert Markdown to HTML: The 'Convert markdown to HTML1' node takes the 'Video Description' field from the fetched record and converts it into HTML.
Update Single Record: The 'Update single record in airtable' node updates the original Airtable record with the generated 'Video description HTML'.
Fetch All Records: If no recordId is provided, the workflow implicitly assumes it needs to process all records (though the current JSON snippet doesn't explicitly show a node for fetching all records; it's implied by the structure of the if node and the subsequent update all records node).
Convert Markdown to HTML (All): The 'Convert markdown to HTML2' node (intended for batch processing) converts the 'Video Description' from each record.
Update All Records: The 'Update all records in airtable' node updates all relevant Airtable records with the converted HTML descriptions. The Unpublished field is set to false in this update.
