Summary

Uploads a template file from an input item’s binary property to Carbone. Leave “Add Version To” empty to create a template, or select an existing template to add a version; optional fields set its category, tags, and upload metadata.

Inputs

  • Binary Property Name (required) — Name of the input item’s binary property containing the template file; defaults to data.
  • Add Version To — Select an existing template by list or ID to add a version. Leave empty to create a new template.
  • Category Name or ID — Optional category to assign; choose a listed category or provide a name or ID.
  • Tag Names or IDs — Optional tags to assign. The UI description says duplicates are removed, tags are sorted alphabetically, and the full list is limited to 100 characters.
  • Template Additional Options — Optional upload metadata: deployed and expiry dates, versioning (enabled by default), origin, sample JSON for Carbone Studio, version comment, and template name. Sample Data must be valid JSON.

Output shape

A single n8n item per input item, with the parsed Carbone API response in json.

The API response is returned without converting it to a binary file. Uploads send the template contents as base64; an invalid binary property or invalid Sample Data JSON causes an error. Dates supplied for deployment or expiry are converted to Unix timestamps.
