What this workflow does
This workflow has 15 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.
How it runs
Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.
- Create Parcel (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 4 fields: package_id, type, destination…
- Create 2nd Letter (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: package_id, type, destination
- Create Letter (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: package_id, type, destination
- 1. Merge Node (Merge): merges the data from its input branches
- 2. IF Node (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Add 'Fragile' Handling (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: handling_instructions
- Add 'Standard' Handling (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: handling_instructions
- Re-group All Packages (Merge): merges the data from its input branches
- 3. Switch Node (Switch): routes items into 3 branches
- Send to London Bin (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: sorting_bin
…plus 3 more steps. See the full node list below.
Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
