Automate Data Transformation with n8n's Set and Rename Keys
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly manage and rename data fields within your n8n workflows. This powerful combination allows you to set initial data values and then precisely rename them for clearer structure and better integration with downstream applications.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow snippet demonstrates a fundamental data transformation process. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the automation on demand. The 'Set' node then introduces a new data field with a specific key and value. Following this, the 'Rename Keys' node provides the flexibility to change the original key name to a more descriptive or standardized one. This sequence is crucial for preparing data for subsequent steps in complex workflows, ensuring data consistency and improving the readability of your automated processes.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate workflows precisely when needed.
- Dynamic Data Setting: Easily define initial key-value pairs for your data.
- Key Renaming: Rename existing data keys to improve clarity and standardization.
- Workflow Simplification: Streamline data preparation for subsequent automation steps.
How To Use
- Add a Manual Trigger: Start by adding the
manualTriggernode and connect its output to the next node. - Configure the Set Node: Add a
setnode. In the 'Values' section, define your initial key and value (e.g.,key: somevalue). - Add the Rename Keys Node: Connect the output of the
setnode to arenameKeysnode. - Define Key Mapping: In the
renameKeysnode, under 'Keys', specify thecurrentKeyyou want to rename and thenewKeyyou want it to become (e.g.,currentKey: key,newKey: newkey). - Execute: Click 'Execute' on the manual trigger to run the workflow and observe the data transformation.
