What this workflow does

This workflow has 5 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

  1. Input JSON Node (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields
  2. Find Key-Value Pair (Code): runs custom Python code

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
