Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of workflows. Each node performs one action or step, such as extracting data, processing content, branching logic, or interacting with external systems.

Types of Nodes

  • Browser Nodes — interact with the web page (e.g. extract HTML, click elements, scroll)
  • Processing / Built-In Nodes — transform data, call APIs, handle JSON, etc.
  • AI Nodes — analyze or summarize text using local or embedded models
  • Logic / Flow Nodes — manage branches, loops, error handling

You can browse all available node types in the Node Library or by category:

Adding a Node

Section titled “Adding a Node”

In a new (empty) workflow

Section titled “In a new (empty) workflow”
  1. Click Add first step.
  2. Use the Node Library panel to search or browse nodes.
  3. Click a node (e.g. Get Selected Text, Get All Links).
  4. The node appears on the canvas, ready for configuration.

In an existing workflow

Section titled “In an existing workflow”
  1. Hover between two nodes or at a free connector point.
  2. Click Add node.
  3. Pick a node from the panel.
  4. Connect it to previous and next nodes.

Common workflows often chain patterns like:

  • Extract → Analyze → Output
  • Get Links → Filter → Visit & Process
  • Click / Scroll → Extract → Condition / Branch

Node Controls & Actions

Section titled “Node Controls & Actions”

Hover or right-click a node to see its controls:

  • Execute Step — run that node immediately
  • Deactivate — temporarily disable (without deleting)
  • Delete — remove the node
  • Open / Configure — adjust parameters
  • Rename, Duplicate, Copy, Clear, Pin — help manage and organize your workflow
  • Node Notes — add documentation visible on the canvas

Behavior of Browser Nodes

Section titled “Behavior of Browser Nodes”

Browser-specific nodes behave differently:

  • They operate on the current page state, extracting real-time content
  • They respect browser security rules, cross-origin limits, and sandboxing
  • They are optimized for browser memory and performance
  • They can be configured (timeouts, retries, “always output”, etc.)
  • They may fail if page structure changes or if content is not present

Node Settings & Options

Section titled “Node Settings & Options”

Under a node’s Settings tab, you’ll find options that control its behavior and reliability:

  • Always Output Data — ensure the node emits an (empty) result even if nothing is found
  • Execute Once — run only once per workflow run
  • Retry On Fail — retry browser operations when they fail
  • On Error:
    • Stop Workflow
    • Continue
    • Continue (passing error info downstream)

Browser nodes may have extra settings:

  • Page wait / load time
  • Element timeouts
  • Retry delays
  • Notes and descriptions — helpful for documenting what each node does

Data Flow & Node Outputs

Section titled “Data Flow & Node Outputs”

Nodes pass structured data in the form of items (arrays of JSON objects). Each node’s output becomes the next node’s input.

  • A node can emit zero, one, or many items
  • Fields in the items can be manipulated via expressions (e.g. {{ $json.text.length }})
  • Use nodes like Edit Fields to create or reshape output fields

If you want more insight into how data moves between nodes, see Key Concepts: Data Flow.
