Tag → Create Tag

AI-generated

Summary

Creates a new tag in the connected n8n instance via the n8n public API (POST /tags) and returns the created tag.

Inputs

  • Tag Name (required) — Name of the tag to create (e.g. "priority"). Marked optional in the UI, but the node throws "Enter a tag name." if it is empty after trimming whitespace.

Output shape

One output item per input item, with json shaped as { tag: }, as returned by the n8n API (typically id, name, and timestamps).

Requires an n8nApi credential. Unlike the Add Tags operation, this does not check for an existing tag with the same name. It always sends a create request, so duplicate names will probably be rejected by n8n and surface as an error ('n8n API request failed'). Transient errors (408, 425, 429, 5xx) are retried up to 3 attempts. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors are returned as { error } items.

Examples

Example 1: Create a 'priority' tag before assigning it to workflows.

Resource: Tag; Operation: Create Tag; Tag Name: priority

Example 2: Create a tag whose name comes from incoming data.

Resource: Tag; Operation: Create Tag; Tag Name: expression such as {{$json.tagName}}
