itemMatching() example
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow demonstrates how to use the itemMatching(itemIndex: Number) function within n8n’s code node to associate and retrieve data items from earlier workflow steps. Based on sample data, it first generates customer data, then simplifies the data structure, and finally restores key information such as email addresses, enabling flexible data manipulation and recovery.
Core Problem Addressed
In complex automation workflows, it is often necessary to reference and match data generated in previous nodes across different steps. This workflow solves the challenge of accurately locating and linking corresponding data items from prior nodes within a code node, preventing data confusion and redundancy while improving the accuracy and efficiency of data processing.
Use Cases
- Designing automation workflows requiring multi-step data association and backtracking
- Precisely matching historical data in customer management, data cleansing, and information restoration scenarios
- Extracting and restoring data fields during data processing workflows
- Teaching or demonstrating advanced n8n function usage
Main Workflow Steps
- Manual Trigger: Start the workflow manually.
- Retrieve Customer Data: Use the built-in customer data store node to obtain a complete set of customer information.
- Edit Fields: Filter the retrieved data to keep only the customer name field, simplifying the data structure.
- Code Processing: In a Python code node, use the
itemMatchingfunction with the item index to restore the corresponding customer’s email address, achieving precise data matching and restoration.
Systems or Services Involved
- n8n built-in customer data store node (n8nTrainingCustomerDatastore)
