Pin Node Data

Learn how to use test data in your workflows

Overview

Pinning data allows you to easily and repeatedly test your workflows without re-running a node. This is particularly useful if your workflow is triggered by an external system (e.g., via a Webhook Node).

 

Pin Data Directly

  • From the Workflow Editor Canvas Select the node you want to pin data for
  • Hit the Return Key or Double Click the node to open the node settings page.
  • Execute the node by selecting the Execute Node button in the upper right
