Triggers on any node-builder call (`node(...)`, `trigger(...)`, `tool(...)`, `memory(...)`, `languageModel(...)`, `ifElse(...)`, `merge(...)`, etc.), configuring a parameter, `useDataOfInput`, `numberOfInputs`, fan-in convergence, or any node-specific debugging.'\n---\n\n# n8n Node Configuration\n\nEach n8n node has its own parameter shape, often with conditional fields (parameter X only matters when parameter Y has value Z). Shapes evolve between versions. Guessing produces cryptic validation errors.\n\nDon't guess, use the `get_node_types` tool.\n\n## Non-negotiable\n\n**Call `get_node_types` with discriminators (resource, operation, mode) before configuring a node.** Without discriminators you get the generic shape, missing operation-specific parameters and required fields. Build against the exact shape. Don't guess from memory.\n\n**The live `get_node_types` output is the canonical parameter shape.** The references in this skill cover patterns, gotchas, security rules, and decision-making (when to use which operation, why credentials over text fields, engine retry caps, etc.) not parameter names or field structures. If a reference example conflicts with what `get_node_types` returns, trust the tool. Markdown drifts; the type def is generated from the live source.\n\n**Never guess resource-locator or load-options values.** When `get_node_types` shows a param with `@searchListMethod` or `@loadOptionsMethod` (Slack channels, Sheets tabs\u002Fdocs, DB tables\u002Fcolumns, model lists, labels), resolve the real value with `explore_node_resources` (pass a `credentialId` from `list_credentials`) and use a returned `value`. If you already know the exact ID, use it; if several match and intent is ambiguous, ask the user. An invented ID validates but points at nothing. Exception: `toolWorkflow.workflowId` has no search method, resolve it via `search_workflows` and use `mode: 'id'`.\n\n## Strong defaults\n\n- **Configure operation-first.** Set `resource` and `operation` first, and conditional parameters become visible. Most \"field doesn't exist\" errors are really \"you haven't set the parent operation yet.\"\n- **Don't carry parameters across operations.** When changing `operation`, re-derive from the new shape. Stale parameters from the previous operation trip validation.\n\n## The flow for any new node\n\n```\n1. search_nodes(['\u003Ccapability keyword>'])\n   → returns matching node IDs + discriminators\n2. Pick the right (resource, operation) for the task.\n3. get_node_types([{ name: '...', resource: '...', operation: '...' }])\n   → returns exact parameter shape including conditional fields\n4. For any RLC \u002F load-options param in that shape, ground the real value:\n   explore_node_resources({ nodeType, version, methodName, methodType, credentialType, credentialId, currentNodeParameters? })\n   → use a returned `value`. Don't invent IDs.\n5. Build the node config from that shape.\n6. validate_workflow → fix errors.\n7. get_workflow_details → inspect the saved config; confirm parameters landed.\n8. test_workflow with pinned data → confirm runtime behavior.\n```\n\nSkipping any step compounds the next. The most common skip is step 3, leading to \"Cannot read property X\" errors that are really \"you didn't pass the discriminators.\"\n\n### `validate_node_config` as a side-channel\n\n`validate_node_config([{ type, typeVersion, parameters, isToolNode? }])` runs the same Zod schema as `validate_workflow` on isolated node configs. Schema-level only; doesn't replace `validate_workflow` (still the publish gate). Cleaner signal for:\n\n- **Iterating on a single node mid-build.** Faster than re-running `validate_workflow` per tweak.\n- **Small edits to an existing workflow.** Wiring unchanged? Check the one node you touched; full validate before publish.\n- **Debugging a misconfigured node.** Per-parameter errors with no graph noise.\n\nFor tool subnodes (wired via `ai_tool`), set `isToolNode: true` so the correct `displayOptions` branch evaluates.\n\n## Operation-aware configuration\n\nMost nodes have a top-level shape like:\n\n```ts\n{\n  resource: '\u003Cthing being operated on>',   \u002F\u002F 'message', 'spreadsheet', 'user', etc.\n  operation: '\u003Cverb>',                      \u002F\u002F 'send', 'append', 'lookup', etc.\n  \u002F\u002F ...operation-specific parameters\n}\n```\n\nThe `(resource, operation)` pair determines what other parameters exist (e.g., Slack `(message, send)` differs from `(user, info)`).\n\nPattern:\n\n1. Set `resource` and `operation` first.\n2. Re-fetch `get_node_types` with those discriminators if you didn't initially.\n3. Configure the rest from the operation-specific shape.\n\n## Property dependencies: the subtle trap\n\nSome parameters depend on others in non-obvious ways:\n\n- A field is required only when another field has a specific value.\n- A field accepts different types depending on a mode.\n- A field's options come from another field's value.\n\nExamples:\n\n- HTTP Request `authentication: 'genericCredentialType'` requires `genericAuthType` and `credentials`, but `'predefinedCredentialType'` requires a different shape.\n- Postgres `operation: 'executeQuery'` requires `query`, while `operation: 'select'` requires `table` and `columns`.\n- Slack `messageType: 'block'` enables block-builder fields absent from `messageType: 'text'`.\n\nAlways inspect via `get_node_types` for the specific operation. Don't reuse a config from a different operation and expect it to validate.\n\nOptions-from-another-field is a `@loadOptionsMethod`: resolve the live options with `explore_node_resources` (`methodType: 'loadOptions'`), passing prior selections via `currentNodeParameters` when the method depends on them (e.g. listing a spreadsheet's tabs needs `documentId`).\n\n## Reference files\n\nPer-category gotchas. Read the file for the node type you're configuring:\n\n| File | When to read |\n|---|---|\n| `references\u002FHTTP_NODES.md` | Configuring HTTP Request: auth, pagination, query\u002Fbody parameters, retries |\n| `references\u002FWEBHOOK_NODES.md` | Configuring Webhook trigger or Respond to Webhook: body parsing, response shape, async patterns |\n| `references\u002FCOMMS_NODES.md` | Slack, Gmail, Discord, email: credential types, message shapes, attachments |\n| `references\u002FDATABASE_NODES.md` | Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Supabase: query vs operation, parameter binding, error handling |\n| `references\u002FAI_NODES.md` | AI Agent node config knobs: streaming, vision, `maxIterations`, retries on the model sub-node. Defers design (prompts, tools, memory, structured output) to `n8n-agents-official` |\n| `references\u002FTRIGGER_NODES.md` | Webhook, Schedule, Manual, Execute Workflow Trigger: input schemas, polling vs realtime |\n| `references\u002FSWITCH_FALLBACK.md` | Configuring a Switch node: unnamed outputs \u002F missing fallback silently drop unmatched items |\n| `references\u002FMERGE_NODE.md` | Configuring a Merge node, or you see `useDataOfInput`, `numberOfInputs`, or branches converging |\n\n## Anti-patterns\n\n| Anti-pattern | What goes wrong | Fix |\n|---|---|---|\n| Building node config from memory of how the node looked last year | Parameter shape has drifted, validation fails with cryptic errors | Always `get_node_types` per session per node |\n| Skipping discriminators in `get_node_types` | Get generic shape, miss operation-specific required fields | Always pass `resource` + `operation` (and `mode` where present) |\n| Copying a node config from one operation to another and tweaking | Stale parameters trip validation, and conditional fields don't apply | Re-derive from the new operation's shape |\n| Hardcoding tokens \u002F credentials in node text fields | Leaks on export. See `n8n-credentials-and-security-official` | Always credentials |\n| Not testing the node with `test_workflow` after configuring | Runtime errors only surface on real data | Always test with pinned data before publish |\n\n",{"data":34,"body":35},{"name":4,"description":6},{"type":36,"children":37},"root",[38,47,53,67,74,92,116,205,211,259,265,277,282,295,321,361,390,396,401,517,546,551,590,596,601,619,624,724,736,778,784,789,982,988,1153],{"type":39,"tag":40,"props":41,"children":43},"element","h1",{"id":42},"n8n-node-configuration",[44],{"type":45,"value":46},"text","n8n Node Configuration",{"type":39,"tag":48,"props":49,"children":50},"p",{},[51],{"type":45,"value":52},"Each n8n node has its own parameter shape, often with conditional fields (parameter X only matters when parameter Y has value Z).
