Effortless Variable Assignment With n8n's Set Node
detail.loadingPreview
Learn how to easily assign values to variables within your n8n workflows using the powerful Set node. Streamline data handling and prepare your data for subsequent automation steps.
About This Workflow
The Set node in n8n is a fundamental building block for manipulating and preparing data within your automated workflows. This snippet demonstrates its core functionality: assigning static values to different variable types – numbers, strings, and booleans. By clicking the 'execute' trigger, you initiate a process where the Set node creates and populates these variables. This is crucial for setting initial conditions, defining parameters, or preparing data that will be used by subsequent nodes in your automation. Mastering the Set node empowers you to build more robust and flexible workflows, ensuring your data is precisely as you need it.
Key Features
- Assign static values to variables.
