What it does

An n8n workflow template that shows how to assign values to variables with the Set node. The Set node creates or changes fields on each item as it passes through a workflow, so later steps can read the same values. The template has no written description, so this summary covers only what its title shows.

Use cases

  1. 01Adding a fixed field to records before sending them on
  2. 02Renaming fields so later steps read them consistently
  3. 03Storing a value once and reusing it in several steps
