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

- In the upper right-hand corner of the
Node Output Pane
select thethumbtack icon
to pin the output data.

- The output data is now available for subsequent workflow testing as it would be during a workflow execution.

Pin Data from Previous Executions
- Navigate to the
Execution history
for the workflow containing a previously executed node that you want to pin data from (e.g. a Webhook Node)

- Double-click on the desired node to see its output data

- Select the JSON tab to display the output dat

- Move your cursor to under the
filter icon
(magnifying glass) in the upper right of the Output pane. A copy icon will reveal itself. Click the copy icon to copy the JSON output.

- Navigate to the
Workflow Editor Canvas
- Hit the Return Key or Double Click on the node you want to pin your copied data to
- In the upper right-hand corner of the
Node Output
