In n8n you can reference data from any previous node. This doesn’t have to be the node just before: it
When referencing a previous node you need to know which item to use. This is solved by item linking. Most
Every item in a node’s input data links back to the items used in previous nodes to generate it. This
Each output item created by a node includes metadata that links them to the input item (or items) that the
An item is a single piece of data. Nodes receive one or more items, operate on them, and output new
When working with data in n8n, you’ll often need to reference information from the current node or from previous nodes
Data mapping means referencing data from previous nodes. It doesn’t include changing (transforming) data, just referencing it. When you need
Referencing data, or data mapping, means accessing information from previous nodes in your workflow. This allows you to use output
n8n provides multiple ways to work with and transform data. Understanding when to use each approach helps you build efficient
