Summary

Update an entity’s name, type, summary, or JSON attributes in the selected Engram storage backend. Leave optional fields empty to retain their current values.

Inputs

  • Backend — Select Embedded (Graphology) or Neo4j (Remote); defaults to Embedded.
  • Custom Storage Path — For Embedded storage only, optionally set a directory for graph data files. Empty uses n8n’s default storage directory.
  • UUID (required) — Unique identifier of the entity to update.
  • Name — New entity name; leave empty to keep the current name.
  • Entity Type — Entity type or category, such as person, organization, location, or concept.
  • Summary — Text describing the entity.
  • Attributes — JSON object of additional key-value attributes; defaults to {}.

Output shape

A single updated entity record per input item.

The source pack exposes the storage update methods but omits their bodies and the operation handler body, so the precise returned record shape and empty-value handling beyond the declared Name description are not shown.
