Compatibility

This Node has been built with n8n Version 1.79.0, which is the first one that supports the Tool usage for AI agents.

Usage

Use custom JSON for properties

While properties can be mapped comfortably, in some cases you might need a more dynamic input. For that you can specify a JSON object defining the properties and their values.

In general the property can be referenced by its ID or name. Except for options of SingleSelect and MultiSelect. There it only works by name.

Some examples:

SingleSelect:

"Status": "Done"

MultiSelect:

"Tags": ["yellow", "orange"]

Checkbox:

"External": true

DateTime:
requires UTC timestamp in seconds

"Due Date": {
  "timestamp": "1739746800",
  "end_timestamp": "1739800800",
  "is_range": true,
  "include_time": true
}
