Entity → Get by Name

Summary

Looks up an entity by its name within a group and returns the matching entity when found.

Inputs

  • Backend — Selects embedded Graphology storage (the default) or a remote Neo4j backend.
  • Custom Storage Path — For embedded storage, optionally sets the directory for graph data files. Leave empty to use n8n’s default storage directory; the n8n process must have read and write access to a custom directory.
  • Group ID (required) — Session or group identifier that scopes the lookup.
  • Entity Name (required) — Name of the entity to look up.

Output shape

A single entity record, or no matching entity.

The operation delegates to the storage backend’s getEntityByName(name, groupId) method; the provided source pack shows no additional output transformation.
