Processing data with code

Function

A function is a block of code designed to perform a certain task. In n8n, you can write custom JavaScript or Python code snippets to add, remove, and update the data you receive from a node.

The Code node gives you access to the incoming data and you can manipulate it. With this node you can create any function you want using JavaScript code.
