Convert Markdown text into WhatsApp-compatible formatting directly inside n8n workflows.

`inline code` `inline code` (kept)
```fenced block``` ```fenced block``` (kept)

Install

npm install n8n-nodes-md-to-whatsapp

Or in n8n UI: Settings → Community Nodes → Install → search n8n-nodes-md-to-whatsapp

Usage

Mode 1: Text

Provide Markdown directly in the parameter panel. The node outputs a single
item with the converted WhatsApp text.

Mode 2: JSON Field (Streaming)

Read Markdown from a field on each input item, write the converted WhatsApp
text to a new field. Preserves all other fields. Streams naturally — N input
items become N output items.

Development

npm install
npm run build       # compile TypeScript
npm run lint        # eslint
npm run dev         # watch mode + n8n integration

Learn How to Build Your Own n8n Node

This repository is also a learning artifact. See LEARNING.md
for a comprehensive guide (in Indonesian) covering:

  • Declarative vs Programmatic node patterns
  • Project structure conventions
  • Properties system, display options, routing
  • Expressions & templating
  • Build, test, publish workflow
  • Common pitfalls (with fixes!)

The guide is based on the source of
scaffold-node.mjs
from kelvinzer0/n8n-openapi-node-ultimate and this actual implementation.
